Skeletal muscle includes the tissue fibers attached to your skeleton or bones and is responsible for all your movements. These muscles are also found at the openings of tracts in your body, like ...

Skeletal muscles are the lean muscle tissue attached to one's bones, usually by tendons. Smooth muscles consist of the tissue located in various internal structures such as one's arteries and ...

Enhanced Maturation of 3D Bioprinted Skeletal Muscle Tissue Constructs Encapsulating Soluble Factor‐Releasing Microparticles. Macromolecular Bioscience, 2023; DOI: 10.1002/mabi.202300276; ...

Muscles secrete proteins called myokines, which play roles in a variety of processes by interacting with other tissues. Essentially, myokines allow skeletal muscles to communicate with organs such ...

If you’ve ever wondered why some people seem to adapt more quickly to resistance training, it’s probably due to the type of skeletal muscle tissue they have. Each of our muscle fibers is ...

In previous work, they found that Musashi-2 (Msi2), a protein originally discovered in nerve cells, was also expressed in skeletal muscle tissue. Muscular atrophy also led to a decrease in the ...

In rare cases, statins are known to cause a severe muscle condition called rhabdomyolysis, in which skeletal muscle tissue is destroyed, leading to serious complications.
