SUMMARY:Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Register \nSpeaker: Sarah DiIorio\, Stanford University\nUnderstanding Mechanisms to Reduce Achilles Tendon Fibrosis \nAbstract:\nTendons are key to effective movement and often undergo chronic overuse or acute tear injuries. After injury\, low vascularity and cellularity lead to compromised mechanical properties and scar tissue formation\, called fibrosis\, in the healing tendon. Despite the vast clinical burden\, the specific cells responsible for tendon fibrosis are not well understood. We employed a mouse model of Achilles tendon fibrosis to identify these cell populations and the corresponding mechanisms of tendon fibrosis. This talk will present our histological and transcriptomic findings and discuss the validation of our pathways of interest which contribute to tendon scarring. \nSpeaker: Nick Pancheri\, University of Oregon\nToward Durable Disease Modification in Osteoarthritis: Integrating Rehabilitation and Immunomodulatory Approaches \nAbstract:\nDespite decades of research\, osteoarthritis lacks a curative treatment\, with exercise and over-the-counter pain management remaining the front-line standard of care. Advancing beyond these palliative approaches requires a deeper mechanistic understanding of how structural pathology drives pain and dysfunction. To address this\, we characterized a preclinical anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture model in rats to quantitatively assess osteoarthritis pathogenesis and pain. We then applied a rehabilitative treadmill intervention after ACL injury and demonstrated that low-intensity exercise reduces pain and slows structural disease progression. These insights inform ongoing development of immunomodulatory treatments targeting the resolution of chronic\, low-grade inflammation and osteoarthritis progression. The combination of regenerative and rehabilitation approaches has strong potential to achieve durable disease modifying effects. \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.

SUMMARY:Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Register \nSpeaker: Gerard Masdeu Yelamos\, The United Nations Educational\, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)\nUNESCO’s Fit for Life: A Global Sport Alliance Promoting and Protecting Sport for All \nAbstract: UNESCO’s Fit for Life Global Sport Alliance works to make sport more inclusive\, equitable\, and safe for everyone. At its core is a strong research and evidence base\, supported by the Knowledge and Innovation Network (KIN). This work helps shape the Global Policy Standards\, strengthen collaboration\, and translate research into practical action for governments. A key advocacy component is the Fit for Life Digital Dashboard\, which transforms survey data into accessible insights\, helping countries track progress\, spot gaps\, and support better sport policy decisions. \nSpeaker: Eric Leslie\, Stanford University\nLinking Metabolites to Human Performance With Genetics and Wearable Technology in the MoTrPAC Study\n \nAbstract: Metabolites are molecular fingerprints for acute and chronic exercise. Metabolomic responses to exercise reflect metabolic capacity\, adaptation\, and environmental exposures that influence human performance. This molecular information may be tracked by wearable technology for nuanced training feedback. This talk explores preliminary analysis of metabolomic\, genomic\, and accelerometer-derived physical activity data from sedentary adults in the MoTrPAC Study. A key finding showed daily step counts modify the availability of a genetically regulated metabolite critical for mitochondrial function and\, therefore\, endurance exercise capacity. These results highlight the potential to link personalized molecular responses to human performance via wearable technology. \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.
