RECENT work on contractile phenomena in muscle 1 indicates that a complete understanding of these processes demands a fuller knowledge of the sub-microscopic morphology and distribution of the mineral ...

A previously described intermicroscopic (LM → SEM → TEM) correlative technique for muscle was used to aid in the interpretation of the SEM image. Polarization microscopy (POJ) used on cryostat ...

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 at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have created a cutting-edge platform consisting of a dual-laser nonlinear optical microscope to investigate the dynamics of ...

From arthritis and heart failure to diabetes and menopause, many conditions are associated with muscle weakness and increased fat deposits. Now a multidisciplinary team of researchers at the ...

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 work ...

The muscular system works to control the movement of our body and internal organs. Muscle tissue contains something called muscle fibers. Muscle fibers consist of a single muscle cell. They help to ...

Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered that a protein called platelet-derived growth factor subunit B (PDGF-B) is continuously secreted from skeletal muscle cells and helps to ...

Researchers have just made the unexpected discovery of a novel organization of muscle fibers in Parophidion vassali, a fish that lives in the Mediterranean Sea and, like many fish, uses specialized ...

Cardiac muscle tissue is only found in your heart. It performs involuntary, coordinated contractions that allow your heart to pump blood through your circulatory system. Cardiac muscle tissue is one ...
