This course takes integrative approaches to exploring architecture, physiology and mechanics of vertebrate skeletal muscle as the main driver of movements in organisms including humans. Combining ...

Muscles can only contract and relax, so they always work in pairs called antagonistic muscles. Skeletal muscle is joined to bones. Its cells contract to make bones move and joints bend.

This course takes integrative approaches to exploring architecture, physiology and mechanics of vertebrate skeletal muscle as the main driver of movements in organisms including humans. Combining ...

Background: It is well established that prolonged, exhaustive endurance exercise is capable of inducing skeletal muscle damage and temporary impairment of muscle function. Although skeletal muscle has ...

AIMRC & WECARE will host Juleen Zierath of the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, at 12:55 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 15, at the Jones Family Student-Athlete Success Center, room 104.

Stem cell biology; regeneration; skeletal muscle regeneration and aging; skeletal muscle stem cells and gene therapy; growth factors and signal transduction; mouse molecular genetics; muscular ...

The fundamental question that drove the initial study was really a question that had perplexed the skeletal muscle biology community. Does the decline in regeneration seen in old muscles come from ...

In this article, Thermo Scientific Visualization Data Solutions discusses how a study using Amira software can help explain why we lose muscle mass as we age.

Her research questions revolve around what molecular and epigenetic mechanisms regulate skeletal muscle proliferation, differentiation, and atrophy. She uses comparative biology to understand the ...

This study presents a valuable finding regarding the role of Arp2/3 and the actin nucleators N-WASP and WAVE complexes in myoblast fusion. The data presented is convincing, but it is suggested to ...
