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 ...

Researchers developed a way to help people with amputation or paralysis regain limb control. Their optogenetic technique could offer more precise control over muscle contraction, along with a dramatic ...

This study reveals abnormal iron accumulation in the muscles of patients with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) and in mice expressing muscle-specific DUX4 (DUX4-Tg mice). Contrary to ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University have demonstrated that iron supplementation can significantly alleviate muscle pathology and functional decline in a mouse model of facioscapulohumeral muscular ...
