Skeletal muscle is the type of muscle that controls movement. Problems with these muscles can be minor, life-threatening, or ongoing problems that make it hard to perform basic daily activities.

Researchers have investigated the effect of increased cell temperature on the contractility of skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle by heating the muscle proteins using advanced microscopical techniques ...

Skeletal muscle cells facilitate voluntary movements such as walking, running, and other forms of exercise. They are comprised of thin, tubular cells called muscle or myofibres due to their threadlike ...

MRI data shows skeletal frame size predicts muscle potential better than height, weight or BMI ...

Skeletal muscle is the largest metabolic organ in the body. It is composed of muscle fibers, blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue. In skeletal muscle, blood vessels are responsible for ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University have demonstrated that iron supplementation can significantly alleviate muscle pathology and functional decline in a mouse model of facioscapulohumeral muscular ...
