These findings validate that the space-based muscle tissue chip system provides an accurate model of age-related muscle loss.

The film explores the muscular system of the human body, detailing the roles and functions of the three types of muscles: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Skeletal muscles, which are voluntary and ...

A team of researchers has developed a simple lab-based system for growing human muscle cells that are capable of vigorously contracting.

Cnidarians split from their bilateral counterparts roughly 750 million years ago and maintain a much simpler body plan and nervous system than many of today’s model organisms. Their tubular bodies are ...

Muscle moment arms are important determinants of muscle function; however, it is challenging to determine moment arms by inspecting bone specimens alone, as muscles have curvilinear paths that change ...

Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have now discovered evidence in mice that skeletal muscles help to keep the immune system functional in chronic diseases.
