There may be a link between how strong your handgrip is and your brain function later in life. It could even be linked to a ...

But take a look at your body under a microscope, and you’ll see that your working muscles are actually contracting in completely different ways depending on the phase of the exercise you’re in—and if ...

Researchers at Imperial College London have discovered that specialist macrophages—a type of white blood cell—play a key role in the control of muscle contraction and locomotion. The discovery ...

Skeletal muscle is the type of muscle that controls movement. Problems with these muscles can be minor, life-threatening, or ongoing problems that make it hard to perform basic daily activities.

Should you focus on concentric or eccentric loading to build muscle and strength? We cover the benefits of both and how to prioritize them.

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 muscles.
