A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a new type of artificial muscle that can seamlessly transition from soft ...

Discover the real differences between eccentric and concentric training. Learn the science, benefits, and practical tips for ...

The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. However, the physiological role of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) through the ryanodine receptor ...

Researchers engineered mice with a mutation (E3896A) in the RyR1 calcium-binding site, eliminating calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) without affecting depolarization-induced calcium release. The ...

Abstract: In this paper, an existing physiological muscle model that predicts muscular force in response to electrical stimulation is adapted to be compatible with gradient-based optimization, in ...

It is well established in the literature that regular physical exercise provides a number of systemic benefits (1), including cardiovascular risk reduction (2) and lung function improvement (3).

Space exploration activity has been increasing. In turn, researchers are more interested than ever in uncovering more about how space travel affects human health and the progression of disease.

Revised: This Reviewed Preprint has been revised by the authors in response to the previous round of peer review; the eLife assessment and the public reviews have been updated where necessary by the ...

Objective This study aimed to investigate how knee extensor and flexor strength change over time after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Design Systematic review with longitudinal meta ...

Alex Smith was 11 years old when he lost his right arm in 2003. A drunk driver operating a boat collided with his family’s vessel on Lake Austin, sending him overboard. He hit a propeller, and his arm ...
