A multi-omics study reveals that impaired branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) catabolism is a key driver of sarcopenia, ...

Voluntary muscles, also known as skeletal muscles, are muscles that can be consciously controlled, such as the muscles of your limbs, head, neck, and body. They are attached to bones and respond ...

A new artificial biohybrid hand uses "sushi-like" bundles of thin human skeletal muscle fibers to manipulate its soft robotic ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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?
