The levels and types of microorganisms in the gut vary from person to person and are affected by diet and commonly used drugs, such as antibiotics, which often result in abnormal gut contractions.

At the molecular level, muscle contraction is defined by myosin molecules pulling actin filaments. New electron cryomicroscopy images with unprecedented resolution taken by researchers at Osaka ...

Atomic images of muscle molecules in action have now been captured by researchers, giving possibility of new nanomachines. At the molecular level, muscle contraction is defined by myosin molecules ...

Nearly all animals use muscle to move, and it's been known for a long time that muscle, like all other cells, is composed of about 70% water. But researchers don't know what sets the range and ...

A new breed of mobile micromachine made of living heart tissue, gold, and silicon takes a step with each rhythmic contraction of its muscle cells. Skip to content. Subscribe or renew today ...

In a serendipitous discovery, UC San Diego researchers using cryo-EM technology captured the first visualizations of the 3-D structure of the muscle acetylcholine receptor in fetal and adult ...

Muscle twitches can occur for many reasons, such as a lack of sleep, caffeine use, nutrient deficiencies, overexertion, and stress. Depending on the cause, treatments and remedies may help relieve ...

"This new level of insight into the muscle receptor will help researchers understand how mutations in its gene cause disease, and may facilitate personalized treatment for individual patients with ...
