Skeletal muscle is joined to bones. Its cells contract to make bones move and joints bend. Skeletal muscles always come in pairs, just like trainers. But there is a little bit more to it than that.

Patients with degenerative diseases that attack skeletal muscle tissues, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, may soon benefit from novel stem cell therapies. A study has demonstrated how new ...

Skeletal muscle is composed of fascicles, bundled units of multiple muscle fibers or muscle cells. Each muscle fiber consists of a cross-banded structure that is further divided into myofibrils ...

The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age too, and some change in ways that weaken the very structure of our bones. Aging and stress can induce cellular senescence in osteocytes ...

Numerous motor and structural proteins compose a highly ordered structure known as the sarcomere ... on unraveling mechanisms of genetic heart and skeletal muscle diseases using animal models, ...

To prove their concept, they created a muscle-powered structure that contracts both ... We chose to work with skeletal muscle ...

Discovered that microtubules are critical for the movement and positioning of nuclei in the multinucleated skeletal muscle cell. Developed Drosophila models of muscle wasting in cancer cachexia and ...

Previous studies have shown that protein expression of DOCK7 is increased in skeletal muscle biopsies from patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), leading researchers from the University of ...

Below the basic structure is shown in the same animal ... to provide the energy for muscle contraction. In skeletal muscle, the cells merge and the muscle fibres contract in unison.
