Muscles are made up of proteins. Myosin, a fibrous protein, serves as a molecular motor and converts the chemical energy stored inside our body into mechanical energy. The synergistic association ...

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 ...

A team of researchers at Tohoku University have developed a simple lab-based system for growing human muscle cells that are capable of vigorously contracting. The team used the model, which was ...
