Skeletal muscle mechanics and force generation are governed by complex interactions between contractile proteins and passive structural elements. At the cellular level, the sarcomere – the fundamental ...

The flow of water within a muscle fiber may dictate how quickly muscle can contract, according to a new study. The flow of water within a muscle fiber may dictate how quickly muscle can contract, ...

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 ...
