To identify the mechanisms by which a short-term central nervous system (CNS) infection caused long-lasting motor problems, the researchers assessed the structure and appearance of cells in the ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a way to treat ageing-related muscular atrophy using regenerative medicine. Conventional methods to implant myoblasts, precursors to ...

skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Only cardiac muscle tissue, comprising cells called myocytes, is present in the heart. In this article, we discuss the structure and function of cardiac muscle tissue.

No study has systematically examined the impact of repeated bouts of muscle damage and repair over a number of years on the structure and function of skeletal muscle. Accordingly, the aim of this ...

All skeletal muscle contractions originate at the junction ... been visual depictions of how the process works. What does the structure of the muscle receptor protein that opens up look like?

Skeletal muscles work in pairs to move the body ... The movement of muscles and structure of muscle tissue could be looked at in more detail, with students investigating what happens when muscles ...

When muscle cells are viewed under the microscope, one can see that they contain a striped pattern (striations). This pattern is formed by a series of basic units called sarcomeres that are ...

Contrary to prior data, this study shows that neither eosinophils nor STAT6-mediated IL-4/IL-13 signaling contribute ...
