A research team from Xi'an Jiaotong University has developed a new method for bioprinting skeletal muscle tissue.

Building functional human muscle in the laboratory has long been a goal of regenerative medicine, but one stubborn obstacle remains: real muscle is ...

Building functional human muscle in the laboratory has long been a goal of regenerative medicine, but one stubborn obstacle remains: real muscle is not just a mass of cells. Its strength and function ...

Precise remote control of skeletal muscle contraction could be beneficial to the study and treatment of muscular dysfunction. Recently, we reported a method regulating intracellular calcium signaling ...

Researchers engineered mice with a mutation (E3896A) in the RyR1 calcium-binding site, eliminating calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) without affecting depolarization-induced calcium release. The ...

In skeletal muscle, calcium is not only essential to stimulate and sustain their contractions but also for muscle embryogenesis, regeneration, energy production in mitochondria, and fusion. Different ...

The control of muscle contraction is usually described in terms of excitation–contraction coupling or muscle activation. Muscle relaxation has received much less attention, although its control is ...

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.

During exercise, local mechanisms in tissues cause arterioles to rapidly dilate to increase blood flow to tissues to meet the metabolic demands of contracting muscle. Despite decades of study, the ...
