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 ...

How muscle changes with ageing, and tries to fight its effects, is now better understood at the cellular and molecular level with the first comprehensive atlas of ageing muscles in humans. Researchers ...

Type IIb fast-twitch myofibers, known for their rapid contraction speed, are plentiful in small mammals but have largely ...

Biohybrid robots work by combining biological components like muscles, plant material, and even fungi with non-biological materials. While we are pretty good at making the non-biological parts work, ...

(Nanowerk News) Prof. Sang Ouk Kim’s group at KAIST has developed a new type of artificial muscle fiber based on graphene-liquid crystal elastomer composites. This new artificial muscle has been ...

New research indicates that an acute exercise session may improve isolated muscle insulin resistance in carriers of a TBC1D4 nonsense mutation, a variant linked to hyperinsulinaemia and elevated type ...

Type IIb fast-twitch myofibers, known for their rapid contraction speed, are plentiful in small mammals but have largely diminished in humans. Researchers at University of Tsukuba have discovered that ...
