A research group led by Dr. Keisuke Obara, Dr. Kento Yoshioka, and Professor Yoshio Tanaka from the Department of Chemical ...

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 ...

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 ...

"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 ...

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 ...

Muscle twitching may also accompany muscle spasms or cramps and can be present during periods of rest or following a muscle contraction. Possible causes of hand cramps include: electrolyte imbalances ...

Background: Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) occurs after unaccustomed exercise and has been suggested to be attributable to reactive oxygen species (ROS). Previous studies have shown increased ...

Time under tension (TUT) is a weightlifting technique designed to build muscle mass by increasing the time muscles spend activated during an exercise. We cover if it works and what its benefits are.

Protein and creatine supplements significantly aid muscle growth, each playing distinct roles. Creatine boosts energy production by increasing ATP, crucial for muscle contraction and recovery ...
