Before pinpointing the most highlighted structure, let's first dissect the intricate architecture of a skeletal muscle fiber.

Scientists have sequenced the oldest RNA from a 40,000-year-old mammoth named Yuka, unlocking genetic activity from its final ...

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 ...

Exogenous serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) causes a reproducible decrease in blood pressure in normotensive and hypertensive rats. This is associated with dilation of arterioles in skeletal ...

Typically when we hear "neuroplasticity," we imagine neural excitability, circulating signaling mechanisms, and connectivity. Neurobiological and biochemical, for sure, but maybe not mechanical ...

We aim to elucidate the neuromuscular mechanisms of skeletal muscle weakness caused by aging and muscle myopathies by using mouse models that mimic/replicate frailty, muscular dystrophies, or ...
