Using powerful new visualization technologies, researchers have captured the first 3-D images of the structure of a key muscle receptor, providing new insights on how muscles develop across the animal ...

The film discusses the intricate relationship between muscles and bones, highlighting the mechanics of body movement. It explains how muscles work by contracting and relaxing in coordination with ...

The connections between the nervous system and muscles develop differently across the kingdom of life. It takes newborn humans roughly a year to develop the proper muscular systems that support the ...

Real-time imaging of sub-cellular reactive oxygen species, Ca2+ signaling, and excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle under physiological and pathophysiological conditions. The research in ...

Brian Glancy, a senior investigator in the Muscle Energetics Laboratory, researches how mitochondrial and contractile networks are optimized within muscle cells to maintain energy balance.

Researchers say a regulatory protein found in skeletal muscle fiber may play an important role in the body's fight or flight response when encountering stressful situations. Researchers at the ...

Researchers at the University of Cincinnati say a regulatory protein found in skeletal muscle fiber may play an important role in the body's fight or flight response when encountering stressful ...

A research group has uncovered important details about how platelet-activating factor (PAF)—a powerful molecule involved in inflammation and allergic reactions—triggers contractions in the smooth ...

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.
