A number of players, including Arsenal's Kai Havertz and Chelsea's Nicholas Jackson, have suffered hamstring injuries - how do they happen?

To be successfully deployed on a large-scale and in a wide range of real-world settings, robots should be able to rapidly ...

New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmitting signals in ...

The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances in ...

This influx of calcium at the contact site attracts and activates a kinase called CaMKII, a protein known to be important in ...

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

There's not much research specifically surrounding the muscle pump and its contribution to muscle growth. Still, there's a ...

As we journey through life, maintaining our vitality and independence becomes a top priority. While many focus on cardio or light exercises, there's a powerful tool that often gets overlooked: ...

Other methods include a dynamometry which measures the force of a muscle contraction with a handheld device. Muscle strength grading is commonly used in people with neurologic conditions such as a ...

According to a 2020 study, three weeks of detraining did not affect muscle thickness, strength, or sports performance in adolescent athletes. According to Jesse Shaw, D.O., associate professor of ...

Skeletal muscles can convert chemical energy into mechanical energy to cause voluntary muscle contraction and movement. Skeletal muscle is composed of fascicles, bundled units of multiple muscle ...

During training studies with mice specifically lacking PanK4 in their muscles, this was manifested by reduced glucose uptake during insulin stimulation and muscle contraction. In contrast ...
