We've all been there before. Running along the basketball court or swimming across the pool, when, all of a sudden, we experience a sharp pain in our foot or leg. Muscle cramps are common, affect ...

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 ...
