New research shows that chronic intracellular calcium overload keeps muscle progenitor cells proliferating through sustained ...

New research in PLOS Genetics shows that the metabolic enzyme Arginine Kinase 1 is essential for Drosophila flight muscle ...

The flow of water within a muscle fiber may dictate how quickly muscle can contract, according to a University of Michigan study. Nearly all animals use muscle to move, and it's been known for a long ...

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 ...

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 biology behind muscle pain: calcium chaos, microscopic damage, and the overlooked mechanism that explains how statins can ...

Because RyR1 is also expressed in neurons, immune cells, and vascular smooth muscle, the E3896A model offers a unique tool to examine CICR's broader physiological roles. By combining gene engineering, ...

Muscle function depends on the precise movement of calcium ions between cytosolic and intracellular stores. At rest, cytosolic Ca2+ is maintained at low nanomolar ...

The flow of water within a muscle fiber may dictate how quickly muscle can contract, according to a new study. Nearly all animals use muscle to move, and it’s been known for a long time that muscle, ...

Researchers led by Assistant Professor Lynn Yap of the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, have uncovered new insights into how unspecialized cells, also ...

What sets off labour when a baby is ready to be delivered has long been a mystery, but now it seems that the immune system pulls the trigger. The uterus appears to start contracting after immune cells ...
