Uncover how a consistent dairy routine rebuilds mineral density and acts as a biological shield against the silent threat of ...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) causes dysfunction of muscle cells that help move blood through the circulatory system, a ...

Muscle relaxers help reduce muscle stiffness and pain from conditions like cerebral palsy and lower back pain. There are two main types of muscle relaxers: antispastics and antispasmodics. Muscle ...

Cancer patients often lose excessive amounts of weight. This affects up to 80% of patients and is mainly due to a decrease in muscle mass and fatty tissue. This cancer-induced cachexia (CIC) is ...

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 ...

For years, the body’s largest lean tissue—skeletal muscle—has been underestimated in its role in managing metabolic health. Despite its size, it contributes surprisingly little to blood sugar and fat ...

Abstract: Recently, bio-hybrid devices using muscle tissue or muscle cells as a drive source have been actively studied. Although there have been many reports on the development of bioactuators, most ...

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