In a serendipitous discovery, UC San Diego researchers using cryo-EM technology captured the first visualizations of the 3-D structure of the muscle acetylcholine receptor in fetal and adult muscles.

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 ...

There’s a robust molecular language being spoken between your muscles and your brain. We’ve often thought about muscle as a thing that exists separately from intellect—and perhaps that is even ...

The connections between the nervous system and muscles develop differently across the kingdom of life. It takes newborn humans roughly a year to develop the proper muscular systems that support the ...

Researchers at the University of Cincinnati say a regulatory protein found in skeletal muscle fiber may play an important role in the body's fight or flight response when encountering stressful ...

Companion studies suggest muscle begins to decline decades before sarcopenia takes hold for keeps. The best part: The process ...

Scientists at the University of Cincinnati and colleagues report that a regulatory protein found in skeletal muscle fiber may play an important role in the body’s fight or flight response when ...

(NewsNation) — Anyone who’s looking to build muscle knows about creatine. Creatine is described as a natural source of energy that helps people’s skeletal muscles contract. The supplement stabilizes ...
