Skeletal muscle is pivotal not only for movement but also for systemic metabolic regulation. Its physiology encompasses intricate networks of contractile machinery, mitochondrial dynamics, and ...

Part two of two teaching films about human anatomy which is devoted to the action of the skeletal muscles in producing movement of the bones at the joints of the human skeleton. It uses live action ...

Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered that a protein called platelet-derived growth factor subunit B (PDGF-B) is continuously secreted from skeletal muscle cells and helps to ...

Researchers have generated mice lacking the estrogen receptor beta gene, both fiber-specific and muscle stem cell-specific, which resulted in abnormalities in the growth and regeneration of skeletal ...

Using pneumatic pistons and servos to power robots makes them fast and strong, but also bulky and extremely heavy. No one is going to mistake ATLAS for a real human being. To eventually create ...

New research found that restricting calories dramatically rewires proteins in rat skeletal muscle, causing molecular changes ...

Individuals struggling to recover from chronic infections and cancer usually experience reduced immune strength and weight loss, including from muscle mass. Researchers from a newly published study ...

In a significant stride forward in the field of bio-inspired robotics, researchers have engineered artificial muscles powered ...

Mimicking nature’s most elegant designs has become a popular method for creating equally elegant robots (close, anyway) — but using nature’s raw materials, too? That’s what researchers at Harvard’s ...

The book showcases Zihlman’s “whole animal” approach, presenting detailed analyses of bones, muscles, and tendons, and comparing the anatomy of the four major apes. The top illustration shows the ...
