New research could help explain one of the “miracles” of childbirth – how the uterus contracts to push babies into the world. Computer models, developed by researchers in India and France, reveal that ...

Using various imaging techniques, the scientists tied abdominal movements to shifts in mouse brains and the movement of cerebrospinal fluid.

Gastrointestinal motility occurs by the coordinated contractions of the tunica muscula ris, which forms the outer wall of the alimentary canal from the distal oesophagus to the external anal sphincter ...

New brain driver: Penn State scientists discovered that abdominal contractions trigger measurable brain movement via a hydraulic-like pulse. Advanced imaging: High-speed microscopy and microCT in mice ...

The ability to modify the intracellular concentrations of divalent calcium ions is vital to normal cell functioning. In the cells of the cardiac muscle, calcium ions play a crucial role in coupling ...
