In their study, the researchers investigated how PAF causes contractions in the esophageal smooth muscle of rats—a process that contributes to symptoms like chest tightness and difficulty ...

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon emphasizes the importance of strength and muscle health, advocating for a high-protein diet and resistance training to improve longevity.

This enables optimum muscle contraction under load to produce needed force — a heart beating to pump blood, for example, or skeletal muscle contractions for movement. Humans with a congenital TMOD1 ...

The study, expected to be completed next year, has a main goal of change in body weight, but also will measure change in fat mass, waist circumference, body composition, and thigh muscle volume.

“These results demonstrate that older adults with smaller skeletal muscles are at greater risk of cognitive decline,” the researchers said in a statement. Is muscle loss a dementia warning sign?

Startup Phantom Neuro is building an implant that sits under the skin and promises to give amputees more accurate control of electronic prosthetics.

In skeletal muscle, mtCa²⁺ uptake, regulated by the MCU, plays a vital role in oxidative metabolism and Adenosine trisphosphate (ATP) production during contraction.

Nearly everyone gets a muscle cramp from time to time. When muscle contractions won't stop and can't be controlled, that's called dystonia.

Exogenous serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) causes a reproducible decrease in blood pressure in normotensive and hypertensive rats. This is associated with dilation of arterioles in skeletal ...

All skeletal muscle contractions originate at the junction between motor neurons, which originate in the spinal cord and brainstem, and muscle fibers.
