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 ...

The purpose of this study was to provide biomechanical data for the improvement and validation of active human models. A drop test setup was developed for the measurement of dynamic soft tissue ...

An international research team studying why some weightlifters’ muscles grow much more quickly than others’ has identified a set of 141 genes that appear to regulate growth of the body’s skeletal ...

For most people, swallowing is second nature, but how does it occur, and why do some people have difficulty with it?

Scientists have created tiny artificial human muscles that contract and respond to neural and electrical stimuli just like real muscles do, a new study reports. There's just one twist: The functioning ...
