For example, your elbow joint has two muscles that move your forearm up or down. These are the biceps on the front of the upper arm and the triceps on the back of the upper arm: to raise the ...

Inhibiting glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) improves muscle function, metabolism, and bone health in many other diseases. Here, Marcella et al. found that inhibiting glycogen synthase kinase 3 ...

Ligaments and tendons are two main types of connective tissues that help the muscular-skeletal system produce movements. The muscles contract to pull on the bones to produce movements. Joints are ...

Background: It is well established that prolonged, exhaustive endurance exercise is capable of inducing skeletal muscle damage and temporary impairment of muscle function. Although skeletal muscle has ...

emphasizing its role in maintaining mtCa²⁺ homeostasis and skeletal muscle function during aging. Functional studies showed that MCUR1 knockdown in young myotubes recapitulated the impaired ...

The resulting interdisciplinary approach conveys a unified contemporary understanding of nerve and skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle function at the molecular, cellular and systems levels. Emphasis ...
