Scientists from the Burnham Institute for Medical Research and the University of Vermont have captured the first 3-dimensional (3D) atomic-resolution images of the motor protein myosin V as it "walks" ...

Scientists developed the first-ever microscope that examines the muscles of the body in live action. This may pave the way for studying potentially-debilitating neuromuscular diseases. Researchers ...

Researchers from Stanford have developed a microscope that’s capable of visualizing and measuring the force-generating contractions of individual motor units in muscle tissue. This marks the first ...

- Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, are specialized cells designed for contraction and force production. Skeletal Muscle Cells: These cells are long, cylindrical, and have a striated (or striped) ...
