Muscles, 2023 Firefighters are at a higher risk for experiencing back pain due to the nature of their job, but physical fitness may help to reduce this risk. Therefore, the primary purpose of this study was to determine if a correlation between subjective back pain ...

The scaling of postcranial muscles in cats (Felidae) I: forelimb, cervical, and thoracic muscles [PDF]
, 2016 The body masses of cats (Mammalia, Carnivora, Felidae) span a ~300‐fold range from the smallest to largest species. Despite this range, felid musculoskeletal anatomy remains remarkably conservative, including the maintenance of a crouched limb posture at

Knitting and weaving artificial muscles
Science Advances, 2017 Textile artificial muscles were developed using weaving to increase the force and knitting to amplify the strain. A need exists for artificial muscles that are silent, soft, and compliant, with performance characteristics similar to those of skeletal ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015 Significance The force generated by a muscle decreases when its contraction velocity increases. This rheology follows the heuristic Hill’s equation. Here, we design and study a capillary analog in which the myosin–actin interaction is replaced by the wetting affinity between a Newtonian silicone oil and a steel rod.

Musculoskeletal modelling of an ostrich (Struthio camelus) pelvic limb: influence of limb orientation on muscular capacity during locomotion [PDF]
, 2015 We developed a three-dimensional, biomechanical computer model of the 36 major pelvic limb muscle groups in an ostrich (Struthio camelus) to investigate muscle function in this, the largest of extant birds and model organism for many studies of locomotor

An autopsy study of a familial oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) with distal spread and neurogenic involvement [PDF]
, 1981 An 81-year-old man from a family with a history of oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) involving 6 members over 4 generations is described. The patient first noted drooping of his eyelids at the age of 65.

Muscle spindles of the rat sternomastoid muscle
European Journal of Translational Myology, 2018 The sternomastoid (SM) muscle in rodents presents a peculiar distribution of fiber types with a steep gradient from the ventral, superficial, white portion to the dorsal, deep, red region, where muscle spindles are restricted. Cross section of the medial longitudinal third of the rat SM contains around 10,000 muscle fibers with a mean diameter of 51.28±

Muscle versus Snail: Muscle wins [PDF]
Journal of Cell Biology, 2016 Epithelial–mesenchymal transitions (EMTs) are often governed by the transcription factor Snail and entail the loss of apical junctions from epithelial cells. In this issue, Weng and Wieschaus (2016. J Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201508056) report that actomyosin contractility can strengthen junctions to override Snail-dependent junctional ...
