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 ...

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dyne Therapeutics, a biotechnology company pioneering targeted therapies for patients with serious muscle diseases, today announced data demonstrating enhanced ...

MIT engineers have pushed biohybrid robotics into a new era with lab-grown muscles that don’t just twitch robotic parts but amplify them with serious power. In a breakthrough that reimagines how ...

It wasn’t so long ago that biologists would swear blind that their discipline would never be tainted by the strange effects of quantum mechanics. Today, quantum biology is an emerging discipline in ...

The ability of skeletal muscle to produce force (contractile function) and contraction-stimulated glucose uptake (increase in clearing sugar from bloodstream) do not differ by time of day, regardless ...

Long, heavy limbs such as arms or legs differ fundamentally from short, light limbs such as fingers in their ability to execute fast movements. While the central nervous system has to actively control ...

A new study has found that consuming dietary nitrate -- the active molecule in beetroot juice -- significantly increased muscle force while exercising. While it is known that dietary nitrate enhances ...
