ABSTRACT: Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in the arterial walls play important roles in regulating vascular contraction and dilation. VSMCs actively remodel the arterial walls and dedifferentiate ...
- Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, are specialized cells designed for contraction and force production. Skeletal Muscle Cells: These cells are long, cylindrical, and have a striated (or striped) ...

When I was little, I loved chasing butterflies. It’s fun to run after them as they flit and flutter. But I didn’t eat them. I asked my friend Rich Zack if that was an oversight. He’s an insect ...
Muscle biophysics is in some measure already a mature science. The sliding-filament theory, originally presented in the 1950s, remains the bedrock of our understanding of sarcomere force generation.
Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is effective at improving urinary incontinence (UI) symptoms; however, patients often cannot properly contract their pelvic floor muscles. We hypothesized that ...
Take a look at your bicep and picture it as a sponge filled with water. When you flex, the sponge contracts, squeezing out water. This simple analogy captures an intriguing new understanding of how ...
The flow of water within a muscle fiber may dictate how quickly muscle can contract, according to a new study. The flow of water within a muscle fiber may dictate how quickly muscle can contract, ...
Abstract: Bionic muscle-driven musculoskeletal systems can dynamically adjust the stiffness between active and antagonistic muscles to improve stability. However, they retain many problems, such as ...
