Researchers describe a new mechanism for muscle repair after physiological damage relying on the rearrangement of muscle fibre nuclei, and independently of muscle stem cells. Muscle is known to ...

The flow of water within a muscle fiber may dictate how quickly muscle can contract, according to a new study. The flow of water within a muscle fiber may dictate how quickly muscle can contract, ...

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 identified a critical AMPK phosphorylation site that regulates mitochondria, muscle contraction, and sugar ...

The findings could have implications for robotics, prosthetics and energy efficient machines. John McGrath and José Alvarado with HillBot, a robot designed to test parameters of muscle strength and ...

A new 3D model shows that Duchenne gene therapy can repair muscle fibers but fails to shut down the signals that drive scarring.

Skeletal muscle cells facilitate voluntary movements such as walking, running, and other forms of exercise. They are comprised of thin, tubular cells called muscle or myofibres due to their threadlike ...

Muscle is known to regenerate through a complex process that involves several steps and relies on stem cells. Now, a new study led by researchers at UPF, Centro Nacional de Investigationes ...
