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 ...

Muscle contraction is the tightening, shortening, or lengthening of muscles when you do some activity. It can happen when you hold or pick up something, or when you stretch or exercise with weights.

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 ...

Shape-memory alloys like nitinol show promise as robotic muscles, with unique properties enabling applications in soft ...
