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, ...

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 ...

nucleic acid (DNA or RNA), and a tail. The tail includes a collar (covered with contractile proteins for the most elaborated bacteriophages, such as the T2 and T4 phages) and ending by tail fibers ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Experts have advised against consuming herbal medicines, including almond fruit leaves, during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester or during labour, despite the acceptance and growing use of ...

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

Generally, training-induced adaptations in skeletal muscle are seen as changes in contractile proteins, mitochondrial function, metabolic regulation, intracellular signalling, transcriptional ...
