There are three types of muscle tissue in the human body including cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle fibers are those which are attached to the skeleton. They are ...

The sarcomere-based structure of muscles is conserved among vertebrates; however, vertebrate muscle physiology is extremely diverse. A molecular explanation for this diversity and its evolution has ...

Scientists have discovered new insights into the structure of muscle tissue in the heart -- a finding that promises to contribute to the study of heart diseases and to the engineering of artificial ...

(Nanowerk News) Inspired by the structure of muscles, an innovative new strategy for creating fiber actuators could lead to advances in robotics, prosthetics, and smart clothing, according to a Penn ...

The structure of a key protein implicated in diseases affecting the heart muscle has been uncovered, scientists say. Researchers, including some from King's College London, say they now understand why ...

The Journal of Biophysical and Biochemical Cytology, Vol. 10, No. 4, Part 2: Supplement: The Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (Aug., 1961), pp. 111-121 (11 pages) The extrinsic eye muscles of the killifish (F.

Human health is the Achilles heel of space travel. Researchers at ETH Zurich have now succeeded in printing complex muscle tissue in zero gravity. This will enable drugs for space missions to be ...
