In a serendipitous discovery, UC San Diego researchers using cryo-EM technology captured the first visualizations of the 3-D structure of the muscle acetylcholine receptor in fetal and adult muscles.

Researchers developed a high-sensitivity proteomics method to analyze individual human muscle fibers. The technique ...

New research has shown one type of muscle contraction is most effective at increasing muscle strength and muscle size -- and rather than lifting weights, the emphasis should be on lowering them. Good ...

Researchers identified a critical AMPK phosphorylation site that regulates mitochondria, muscle contraction, and sugar breakdown during exercise. Mice lacking the site showed poor endurance, and ...

Time under contraction is not directly measured in a typical weight training program. Most people really don't even think about the number of seconds a given muscle is forced to work. Indirectly, ...

Together, these findings suggest that ferulic acid can act as a natural regulator of intestinal motility. By reducing ...

MICKLETON, N.J. (WPVI) -- 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. A South Jersey man is now sharing ...
