Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2018 Muscle cells are designed to generate force and movement. There are three types of mammalian muscles-skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. Skeletal muscles are attached to bones and move them relative to each other.

Signaling in muscle contraction. [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2015 Signaling pathways regulate contraction of striated (skeletal and cardiac) and smooth muscle. Although these are similar, there are striking differences in the pathways that can be attributed to the distinct functional roles of the different muscle types.

A new paradigm for muscle contraction [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2015 For the past 60 years, muscle contraction had been thought to be governed exclusively by the contractile filaments, actin, and myosin. This thinking explained most observations for concentric and isometric, but not for eccentric muscle contractions. Just

The role of pannexin/purinergic signaling in intervascular communication from capillaries during skeletal muscle contraction in male Golden hamsters [PDF]
Physiological ReportsWe sought to determine the physiological relevance of pannexin/purinergic‐dependent signaling in mediating conducted vasodilation elicited by capillary stimulation through skeletal muscle contraction.

Characterization of Cecal Smooth Muscle Contraction in Laying Hens
Veterinary Sciences, 2021 The ceca play an important role in the physiology of the gastrointestinal tract in chickens. Nevertheless, there is a gap of knowledge regarding the functionality of the ceca in poultry, especially with respect to physiological cecal smooth muscle ...

Physics of muscle contraction [PDF]
Reports on Progress in Physics, 2018 In this paper we report, clarify and broaden various recent efforts to complement the chemistry-centered models of force generation in muscles by mechanics-centered models. The physical mechanisms of interest can be grouped into two classes: passive and active.

Biology, 2020 An informative probe of myosin cross-bridge behaviour in active muscle is a mechanical transient experiment where, for example, a fully active muscle initially held at constant length is suddenly shortened to a new fixed length, providing a force ...

Application of conjugated materials in muscle movement recovery process
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2023 Conjugate materials have a good application effect in muscle movement recovery. This article aims to provide more references for the practical application of conjugated materials in sports recovery.

Auditory sEMG biofeedback for reducing muscle co‐contraction during pedaling
Physiological Reports, 2022 Muscle co‐contraction between the agonist and antagonist muscles often causes low energy efficiency or movement disturbances. Surface electromyography biofeedback (sEMG‐BF) has been used to train muscle activation or relaxation but it is unknown whether ...
