Researchers have investigated the effect of increased cell temperature on the contractility of skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle by heating the muscle proteins using advanced microscopical techniques ...

The contraction process involves interactions between actin and myosin filaments within the sarcomeres to generate force. News organizations may use or redistribute this image, with proper attribution ...

There are various ways to estimate muscle mass percentage. These include using medical equipment, calculating body fat percentage, and measuring certain areas of the body. Maintaining a healthy ...

The Clinical Implications of Basic Research series has focused on highlighting laboratory research that could lead to advances in clinical therapeutics. However, the path between the laboratory and ...

Step aside, Fitbit. Data-driven fitness gadgets have nothing on this: A tiny, wearable microscope catches glimpses of muscles in action. The mini microscope, described in the Dec. 16 Neuron, can track ...

Scientists have established a link between gut microbes and muscle growth and function -- a finding that could open new doors to interventions for age-related skeletal muscle loss. The microorganisms ...

As tumors grow, individual cancer cells can break off and circulate in the bloodstream. Like tiny seeds, these disseminating tumor cells (DTCs) often lodge in other organs and exploit the fertile, ...
