Cutting calories has long been linked to longer life in lab animals, but scientists are now tracing that effect down to the level of muscle proteins. Instead of simply shrinking our bodies, modest ...

From Hyrox to Pilates, resistance bands and even yoga, experts explain what actually builds muscles – and why it gets harder ...

Muscle relaxers help reduce muscle stiffness and pain from conditions like cerebral palsy and lower back pain. There are two main types of muscle relaxers: antispastics and antispasmodics. Muscle ...

Cancer patients often lose excessive amounts of weight. This affects up to 80% of patients and is mainly due to a decrease in muscle mass and fatty tissue. This cancer-induced cachexia (CIC) is ...

Abstract: In this paper, an existing physiological muscle model that predicts muscular force in response to electrical stimulation is adapted to be compatible with gradient-based optimization, in ...

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 ...
