Our biceps and our brain cells may have more in common than previously thought. New research led by the ...

Adding to the growing fundamental understanding of the machinery of muscle cells, a group of biophysicists describe -- in minute detail -- how actin filaments are stabilized at one of their ends ...

Researchers uncover how Plexin A and Semaphorin 1b regulate collective cell migration in fruit fly testes, offering insights into organ development, cancer metastasis, and tissue engineering.

They found that the muscle cells automatically align themselves if they are subjected to tension in one direction ... Simple way to grow muscle tissue with real muscle structure Date: August 26, 2011 ...

Also, whereas a skin cell has a single command center — its nucleus — a muscle cell has many. They need these multiple command centers to send marching orders throughout the entire length of the cell.

When one cardiac muscle cell is stimulated to contract, a gap junction transfers the stimulation to the next cardiac cell. ... Structure of cardiac muscle. (2018).

Gamma actin is a protein that plays an important role in giving muscle cells structure. It binds to dystrophin, a protein in muscle cells that if absent, causes Duchenne muscular dystrophy, ...
