A new study explains how a tiny enzyme switch helps muscles make energy during exercise and may even connect to diabetes risk ...

Wenbo Chen and Misha Kudryashev from the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics and the Buchmann Institute for Molecular Life Sciences of the Goethe University Frankfurt, have succeeded in elucidating the ...

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 ...

Muscle cramps are a common and often uncomfortable phenomenon that many individuals experience. These sudden, involuntary contractions can occur in various muscle groups, causing sharp pain and ...

Researchers were able to control heart muscle function in a new way after discovering the previously unknown role of two enzymes in heart muscle contraction. Although in the early stages, the research ...
