From arthritis and heart failure to diabetes and menopause, many conditions are associated with muscle weakness and increased fat deposits. Now a multidisciplinary team of researchers at the ...

Adding to the growing fundamental understanding of the machinery of muscle cells, a group of biophysicists describe -- in minute detail -- how actin filaments are stabilized at one of their ends to ...

There are three types of muscle tissue in the human body including cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle fibers are those which are attached to the skeleton. They are ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The functional diversity of vertebrate skeletal muscle largely depends upon its structure. An important aspect of this is its hierarchical ...

Background: It is well established that prolonged, exhaustive endurance exercise is capable of inducing skeletal muscle damage and temporary impairment of muscle function. Although skeletal muscle has ...

The structure of a key protein implicated in diseases affecting the heart muscle has been uncovered, scientists say. Researchers, including some from King's College London, say they now understand why ...

Frozen in time, RNA cellular snapshots can reveal the health, diet, and behaviors of extinct animals at time of death. In A ...
