Remarks on Muscle Contraction Mechanism [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2008 Muscle contraction mechanism is discussed by reforming the model described in an article by Mitsui (Adv. Biophys. 1999, 36, 107-158). A simple thermodynamic relationship is presented, which indicates that there is an inconsistency in the power stroke model or the swinging lever model. To avoid this difficulty, a new model is proposed.

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020 There is a significant influence of muscle fatigue on the coupling of antagonistic muscles while patients with post-stroke spasticity are characterized by abnormal antagonistic muscle coactivation activities. This study was designed to verify whether the

Insights into muscle metabolic energetics: Modelling muscle-tendon mechanics and metabolic rates during walking across speeds [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Prior studies have produced models to predict metabolic rates based on experimental observations of isolated muscle contraction from various species. Such models can provide reliable predictions of metabolic rates in humans if muscle properties and control are accurately modeled.

Requirements for contractility in disordered cytoskeletal bundles
, 2012 Actomyosin contractility is essential for biological force generation, and is well understood in highly organized structures such as striated muscle. Additionally, actomyosin bundles devoid of this organization are known to contract both in vivo and in ...

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.By fabricating and covalently assembling gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) porous microgels, a new class of granular hydrogel scaffolds with hierarchical porosity is developed. These scaffolds have a significantly higher void fraction than their counterparts made up of nonporous microgels, enhancing cell recruitment and tissue integration. This research may

Detecting muscle activation using ultrasound speed of sound inversion with deep learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Functional muscle imaging is essential for diagnostics of a multitude of musculoskeletal afflictions such as degenerative muscle diseases, muscle injuries, muscle atrophy, and neurological related issues such as spasticity. However, there is currently no solution, imaging or otherwise, capable of providing a map of active muscles over a large field of ...
