Skeletal muscle is the type of muscle that controls movement. Problems with these muscles can be minor, life-threatening, or ongoing problems that make it hard to perform basic daily activities.

Researchers have provided an in-depth analysis of 3D in vitro biomimetic skeletal muscle tissue models, highlighting the great potential of bioprinting technology. Skeletal muscle can be functionally ...

From arthritis and heart failure to diabetes and menopause, many conditions are associated with muscle weakness and increased fat deposits. Now a multidisciplinary team of researchers at the ...

The muscular system works to control the movement of our body and internal organs. Muscle tissue contains something called muscle fibers. Muscle fibers consist of a single muscle cell. They help to ...

Researchers have just made the unexpected discovery of a novel organization of muscle fibers in Parophidion vassali, a fish that lives in the Mediterranean Sea and, like many fish, uses specialized ...

A new study from the University of Minnesota Medical School clarifies how the three-dimensional organization of the genome is regulated at the onset of skeletal muscle formation. Although the DNA ...

There are over 600 muscles in your body. They make up over 40 percent of your weight and function in several different capacities. Several thousand small fibers make up every muscle. They aid in ...

Cardiac muscle tissue, or myocardium, is a type of muscle tissue that forms the heart. It contracts and releases involuntarily and keeps the heart pumping blood around the body. The human body ...

Muscle damage, like tearing your ACL, can be traumatic and lead to economic as well as functional decline in patients suffering from it. While scientists have designed 3D printed approaches to help ...

Back pain affects more than 80 million people in Europe and is the most common cause of disability. If the pain persists for more than three months, it is referred to as chronic back pain, which not ...
