The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. However, the physiological role ...

Researchers engineered mice with a mutation (E3896A) in the RyR1 calcium-binding site, eliminating calcium-induced calcium ...

In a serendipitous discovery, UC San Diego researchers using cryo-EM technology captured the first visualizations of the 3-D structure of the muscle acetylcholine receptor in fetal and adult muscles.

The flow of water within a muscle fiber may dictate how quickly muscle can contract, according to a new study. The flow of water within a muscle fiber may dictate how quickly muscle can contract, ...

Fibronectin triggers secretion of extracellular vesicles carrying collagen VI that regulate smooth muscle cell adhesion and migration during vascular repair and atherogenesis.

Typically when we hear "neuroplasticity," we imagine neural excitability, circulating signaling mechanisms, and connectivity. Neurobiological and biochemical, for sure, but maybe not mechanical ...
