Researchers have found a simple way to grow muscle tissue with a real muscle structure in the laboratory. They found that the muscle cells automatically align themselves if they are subjected to ...

Your skeletal muscles are made up of bunches of elongated, rod-shaped cells called muscle fibres. Each of your muscle cells is packed full of thinner fibres called myofibrils. These fibres contain ...

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.

(Phys.org)—Researchers at the University of Tokyo have taken another step towards creating a robot with a faithfully recreated human skeleton and muscle structure. Called Kenshiro, the robot has been ...

Adding to the growing fundamental understanding of the machinery of muscle cells, a group of biophysicists describe -- in minute detail -- how actin filaments are stabilized at one of their ends to ...

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 ...

Transmission and scanning electron microscopy have revealed the three-dimensional ultrastructure of the muscle attachment to the cuticle of the adductor and frontal scars in ostracodes. Each muscle ...

The hamstring muscles are responsible for your hip and knee movements in walking, squatting, bending your knees, and tilting your pelvis. Hamstring muscle injuries are the most common sports injury.
