A study has demonstrated how new skeletal muscle tissues can be grown from stem cells derived from the human placenta. The results give insights into the role of a protein that is crucial for ...

The current study aimed to better characterize human skeletal muscle-derived adipogenic progenitors obtained from obese volunteers and investigate the impact of derived adipocytes on insulin ...

Skeletal means of the skeleton and skeletal muscles move our body parts by transferring force to the bones through tendons, but skeletal muscles can only exert force by pulling, they cannot push ...

Skeletal muscles work in pairs to move the body. When you bend your arm, the biceps muscle contracts while the triceps relaxes. The biceps pulls the bones together, bending the arm. The reverse ...

Biomedical researchers at Ohio University have received National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding to investigate the role ...

Here's what actually happens when you "pull" a muscle. The human body has three types of muscles skeletal, cardiac and visceral. But we can only control, and damage, our skeletal muscles.

Lucy, an early human ancestor, could run upright but much slower than modern humans. New simulations show that muscle and ...

Objectives: To determine sex differences in the distribution of regional and total skeletal muscle (SM) using contiguous whole body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data, and to examine the relations ...

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 ...
