New mathematical model shows how the body regulates potassium
Having levels of potassium that are too high or too low can be fatal. A new mathematical model sheds light on the often mysterious ways the body regulates this important electrolyte.
A life-inspired system dynamically adjusts to its environment
The system regulates its own temperature in response to environmental disturbances
Chronic Pulmonary Hypertension Alters Chloride Homeostasis in Pulmonary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells

How math can help us understand the human body
In presentations at the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s annual meeting, researchers argued that mathematics can help explain and predict those breakdowns, potentially offering new ways of treating the systems to prevent or fix them when things go wrong.

Circadian Clock Regulates Body’s Collagen Production
Researchers featured in the “Homeostasis and adaptation of tendons to exercise” symposium—presented this week virtually at the American Physiological Society (APS) Integrative Physiology of Exercise conference—will discuss how exercise, inactivity and the body’s internal clock drive structural changes to tendons and their supportive tissues.
