Successful recovery depends on a timely shift from inflammation to resolution\, yet regenerative therapies often face hostile inflammatory niches. The lymphatic system—key for interstitial fluid balance and clearance of cytokines and immune cells—is mechanoresponsive but undercharacterized after injury. Integrating immunoengineering with lymphatic-targeted strategies and regenerative rehabilitation can enhance therapy resilience\, accelerate recovery\, and improve durable functional restoration. \nSpeaker:Thayne Munce\, University of Kansas \nCollision Course: Tackling Brain Injury in Youth Football\nAbstract: Dr. Thayne Munce will present findings from his research on repetitive head impacts and brain function in youth football players. Drawing from one of the largest datasets in the field\, his work examines how these impacts occur\, how neurologic function changes over a season\, and what long-term patterns are emerging. This presentation will offer insights into brain health in young athletes\, summarize current scientific understanding\, and highlight key gaps that invite interdisciplinary collaboration and future innovation in youth sports safety. \n\nAbout the Seminar Series\nThe seminar series features speakers from across the institutions that make up the Alliance\, covering topics related to our mission of uncovering the principles of performance and translating them to improved performance and care of athletes and all people. \nThe goal of the seminar series is to foster scientific exchange and the formation of new research collaborations through a set of research talks that are clear and compelling to researchers from a broad range of fields. \nPlease contact humanperformance@stanford.edu with any questions.

However\, prior findings on how HTD or IKTD affect top sprinting speed are conflicting\, potentially due to existing studies relying on experimental inter-athlete study designs. In this talk\, I will present results from a recent study that used predictive simulations to isolate how modifying HTD or IKTD influences top sprinting speed. \nSpeaker: Manoj Hariharan\, Salk \nDNA Methylation Dynamics in Skeletal Muscle Cell-types in Response to Endurance Exercise\nAbstract: DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that is known to regulate gene expression through the addition or removal of a methyl group on specific cytosine residues of DNA. Its role in muscle function\, such as satellite cell activation\, fibertype maintenance\, and metabolic specialization\, are well-studied. Given the heterogeneity of muscle\, we implemented a genome-wide methylation assay to identify the DNA methylation dynamics of three different muscle tissues at single-nucleus resolution. The unique methylation profiles of groups of nuclei showed methylation signatures in canonical marker genes of various cell-types\, also supported by single-nucleus-resolution transcriptomics. In this talk\, I will highlight novel cell-type markers\, and differential methylation across sedentary and active animals\, at the level of the genome\, genes\, and regulons. Use of both female and male mice enabled the determination of sex-specific changes in endurance exercise\, which will also be covered in the talk. \n\nAbout the Seminar Series\nThe seminar series features speakers from across the institutions that make up the Alliance\, covering topics related to our mission of uncovering the principles of performance and translating them to improved performance and care of athletes and all people. \nThe goal of the seminar series is to foster scientific exchange and the formation of new research collaborations through a set of research talks that are clear and compelling to researchers from a broad range of fields. \nPlease contact humanperformance@stanford.edu with any questions.

Our 2025 Wu Tsai Performance Undergraduate Scholars will share 1-minute lightning talks about their human performance research\, followed by a poster session. Scholar research spans diverse topics\, from assessing lower limb strength in resource-limited settings to investigating the genetics in endurance performance and analyzing the role of probiotics to enhance recovery.
