Muscles are the engine of the body. But with age, we begin to lose muscle mass, leading to frailty and reduced mobility.

Discussing what led the researchers to suspect that other morphogenetic engines were involved in cell compaction Maître said, “There is a mountain of evidence that contractile forces are the main ...

Cells produce heat shock proteins in response to heat or cold stress and are involved in wound healing. Although muscle contractile function remained stable after recovering from heat-induced injury, ...

Scientists have used the latest advances in microscopy to characterize how a motor protein helps cells crawl, according to a study published in the Journal of Cell Biology.

Japanese researchers have transplanted human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in a primate model of myocardial infarction and were able to restore heart muscle and function in monkeys. Developed ...

As a result, the artificial muscles achieved a remarkable contractile strain exceeding 11% at a high stress of 5 MPa, equivalent to lifting loads more than 4000 times their own mass, all while ...

Other cell movements, such as the pinching off of the cell membrane in the final step of cell division (also known as cytokinesis) are produced by the contractile capacity of actin filament networks.

Researchers unveiled BeatProfiler, a groundbreaking new tool -- a comprehensive software that automates the analysis of heart cell function from video data. It's the first system to integrate the ...

A new research paper was published in Aging titled, "A novel deep proteomic approach in human skeletal muscle unveils ...

RT in MA participants only altered ~0.3% of MyoF and ~1.0% of non-MyoF proteomes. "In summary, aging and RT predominantly affect non-contractile proteins in skeletal muscle. Additionally, marginal ...
