1.
Formenti F, Askew G, Minetti A
J Exp Biol . 2025 Feb; 228(Suppl_1). PMID: 39973200
Humans have developed tools and strategies to improve locomotion performance and safety throughout history. In particular, unusual environmental conditions and danger have pushed the limits of imagination and initiative, laying...

Kissane R, Askew G
J Exp Biol . 2024 Oct; 227(21). PMID: 39369302
The work loop technique was developed to assess muscle performance during cyclical length changes with phasic activation, simulating the in vivo conditions of many muscles, particularly during locomotion. To estimate...

Gladman N, Askew G
J Exp Biol . 2024 Sep; 227(21). PMID: 39297692
Escape jet propulsion swimming in cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) is powered by the circular muscles surrounding the mantle cavity. This mode of locomotion is energetically costly compared with undulatory swimming. The...

Kissane R, Bates K, Fagan M, Wang L, Watson P, Askew G
J Exp Biol . 2024 Sep; 227(18). PMID: 39297179
Muscle spindle abundance is highly variable in vertebrates, but the functional determinants of this variation are unclear. Recent work has shown that human leg muscles with the lowest abundance of...

Charles J, Kissane R, Askew G
Front Bioeng Biotechnol . 2024 Aug; 12:1436004. PMID: 39108597
The accuracy of musculoskeletal models and simulations as methods for predicting muscle functional outputs is always improving. However, even the most complex models contain various assumptions and simplifications in how...

Doody N, Smith N, Akam E, Askew G, Kwok J, Ichiyama R
J Neurophysiol . 2024 Jul; 132(2):531-543. PMID: 38985935
Structural neuroplasticity such as neurite extension and dendritic spine dynamics is enhanced by brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and impaired by types of inhibitory molecules that induce growth cone collapse and...
7.
Bishop C, Halsey L, Askew G
Sci Rep . 2024 Mar; 14(1):7298. PMID: 38538653
A paradox of avian long-distance migrations is that birds must greatly increase their body mass prior to departure, yet this is presumed to substantially increase their energy cost of flight....

Wang L, Meloro C, Fagan M, Kissane R, Bates K, Askew G, et al.
PLoS One . 2024 Feb; 19(2):e0298621. PMID: 38412158
The material properties of some bones are known to vary with anatomical location, orientation and position within the bone (e.g., cortical and trabecular bone). Details of the heterogeneity and anisotropy...

Kissane R, Askew G
J Physiol . 2024 Feb; 602(6):1105-1126. PMID: 38400808
Skeletal muscle has a broad range of biomechanical functions, including power generation and energy absorption. These roles are underpinned by the force-velocity relationship, which comprises two distinct components: a concentric...

Lewden A, Bishop C, Askew G
J R Soc Interface . 2023 Dec; 20(209):20230442. PMID: 38086401
Animal flight uses metabolic energy at a higher rate than any other mode of locomotion. A relatively small proportion of the metabolic energy is converted into mechanical power; the remainder...
