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. Cardiac muscle comprises the heart, which pumps blood through the vasculature.

Vascular smooth muscle contraction in hypertension [PDF]
Cardiovascular Research, 2018 Hypertension is a major risk factor for many common chronic diseases, such as heart failure, myocardial infarction, stroke, vascular dementia and chronic kidney disease.

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

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.

Microstructural analysis of skeletal muscle force generation during aging. [PDF]
, 2020 Human aging results in a progressive decline in the active force generation capability of skeletal muscle. While many factors related to the changes of morphological and structural properties in muscle fibers and the extracellular matrix (ECM) have been ...

An electrooptical muscle contraction sensor [PDF]
, 2010 An electrooptical sensor for the detection of muscle contraction is described. Infrared light is injected into the muscle, the backscattering is observed, and the contraction is detected by measuring the change, that occurs during muscle contraction ...

Chemical changes in the adductor muscle of the cheliped of the crayfish in relation to the double motor innervation [PDF]
, 1938 Work from this laboratory has shown that a number of the striated muscles of the legs of the crayfish show a typical motor innervation (1). Such muscles are innervated by two motor fibers only, each causing a different type of contraction.
