Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>It is widely acknowledged that the brain is vulnerable to trauma in high-impact sports, prompting the development of protective equipment and adoption of rule changes by sporting governing bodies to reduce concussion risk (and the risk of litigation due to duty of care issues). The brain, though soft, is nevertheless regulated by mechanosensitive cell signaling pathways like Hippo–YAP–T...
