Muscle contraction disease in dogs is a type of seizure. The cause of the condition usually involves a dog’s nervous system. Thankfully, the condition is quite rare in dogs. Also, dogs remain ...

Growing contracting human muscles that responds to stimuli like real tissue sounds more like science fiction than modern science. But it has officially been done, and this could mean a whole new world ...

Two related studies published today in Nature Metabolism show that a specialized intracellular recycling ...

Researchers at Duke University have grown the first ever human muscle in a lab that contracts just like naturally grown tissue. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she hopes to get you as ...

Researchers at Duke University made an incredible find in the field of biomimetics: they were able to create artificially grown human muscle that can contract in response to stimuli. The team ...

The contraction of smooth muscle is an essential process underpinning diverse physiological functions ranging from gastrointestinal motility to vascular regulation. At its core, smooth muscle ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- In a laboratory first, Duke researchers have grown human skeletal muscle that contracts and responds just like native tissue to external stimuli such as electrical pulses, biochemical ...

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.

Ever have a calf cramp wake you up in the middle of the night, or knock you down in the middle of a workout? There's a way to send that cramping, spasming muscle a signal to relax: contract the ...

There is perhaps no better way to see the absolute pinnacle of human athletic abilities than by watching the Olympics. But at the Olympics – and at almost all professional sporting events – you rarely ...

Statins have been transformative for many individuals, by lowering cholesterol, and reducing the risk of heart problems and stroke. But statins can also ca | Cell And Molecular Biology ...
