Muscle fiber type is a key determinant of fatigue, force generation, and functions of skeletal muscles. This study analyzed the muscle fiber type composition in the soleus of untrained subjects and sprinters using surface EMG-based time-frequency analysis. doi.org/10.1177/095441…

This study evaluated CoCr alloy scaffolds with 60–90% porosity. The 60% porous design showed the best mechanical strength and highest cell adhesion, indicating its potential as the most effective scaffold for bone regeneration and structural stability. doi.org/10.1177/095441…

Hydroxyapatite composites reinforced with zeolite were synthesized and tested for dental applications. SEM, EDS, FTIR, XRD, and in vitro studies revealed increased porosity, roughness, and apatite formation, highlighting potential in tooth restoration. doi.org/10.1177/095441…

FE modeling of spinal fixation with cross-links under growing tumors shows reduced torsional stress at L3 but higher compressive stress when tumor >10%. Placement affects stress distribution, stability, and stiffness—key for planning with adjuvant therapy. doi.org/10.1177/095441…

Great news! DCU is now ranked in the top 350 universities in the 2026 Times Higher Education World University Rankings Times Higher Education, its highest position ever. DCU is 1st in Ireland for Research Quality. Read more here: launch.dcu.ie/3L2XCIQ

Speaking about the 2026 rankings, DCU President Prof Daire Keogh said: “The University’s rise in the global rankings is a strong affirmation of DCU’s commitment to its mission, ‘to transform lives and societies’,”

"The advancement of our research impact and reputation is one of DCU’s key strategic objectives, so I am particularly pleased that THE has ranked the university number one in Ireland for Research Quality,” says DCU President Prof Daire Keogh

Prof John Doyle John Doyle, VP for Research, said: "Research Quality measures the influence and impact of our published research, and by this measure, not only is DCU number one in Ireland but 138th in the world."

"Our objective will be to use these results to develop our research reputation, and to further strengthen the impact of our research in meeting the serious economic and social challenges facing Ireland and Europe at this time,” says Prof John Doyle John Doyle, VP for Research
