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.
Muscle contraction is the tightening, shortening, or lengthening of muscles when you do some activity. It can happen when you hold or pick up something, or when you stretch or exercise with weights.
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 ...
Researchers at Imperial College London have discovered that specialist macrophages—a type of white blood cell—play a key role in the control of muscle contraction and locomotion. The discovery ...
It is important to understand the principles of normal neuromuscular transmission when using neuromuscular blocking agents. The neuromuscular junction consists of the motor-nerve terminus, the ...

Genetic model reveals a form of calcium release is unnecessary for normal muscle contraction
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 ...
Researchers from Harvard and Emory University report that they have developed the first fully-autonomous biohybrid fish from human stem-cell derived cardiac muscle cells. The artificial fish swims by ...
BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Edgewise Therapeutics, Inc., (Nasdaq: EWTX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing orally bioavailable, targeted, small molecule therapies ...
Though many people experience muscle twitching, it's often incorrectly identified as a muscle spasm. While both are involuntary contractions of a muscle, muscle spasms and muscle twitching aren't ...
If you've wondered how to swim, run or cycle for longer; perform more reps of an exercise in the gym; or just find everyday tasks like carrying shopping easier, you might consider working on your ...
Accomplishing perhaps a world first, researchers at Columbia University and the UChicago-affiliated Marine Biological Laboratory have mapped the full-body muscular activity of an animal while it was ...
BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Edgewise Therapeutics, Inc., (Nasdaq: EWTX), a leading muscle disease biopharmaceutical company, today announced that the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has ...
