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 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, ...
Cutting calories has long been linked to longer life in lab animals, but scientists are now tracing that effect down to the ...
Taylor has developed a high-speed imaging system called CAMERA (Computer-Assisted Measurements of Excitation-Response Activities), which allows him to record microscopic images of muscle cell ...
The peristaltic reflex is a fundamental behavior of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract in which mucosal stimulation activates propulsive contractions. The reflex occurs by stimulation of intrinsic ...
MICKLETON, N.J. (WPVI) -- Nearly everyone gets a muscle cramp from time to time. When muscle contractions won't stop and can't be controlled, that's called dystonia. A South Jersey man is now sharing ...
In a serendipitous discovery, UC San Diego researchers using cryo-EM technology captured the first visualizations of the 3-D structure of the muscle acetylcholine receptor in fetal and adult muscles.
