The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is a specialised organelle in skeletal muscle fibres that plays a pivotal role in regulating calcium dynamics crucial for muscle contraction and relaxation. Acting as ...
Calcium-uptake and ATPase studies carried out on fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum from muscle of patients with Duchenne dystrophy showed low initial and total calcium uptake, low ATPase activity and ...
The sliding filament model underlies all types of muscle contractions. Here are the three main types: Concentric Contraction: ...

Strain: An injury to a muscle or tendon caused by overstretching or tearing. Strains are graded based on severity: Grade I: ...
Researchers have just made the unexpected discovery of a novel organization of muscle fibers in Parophidion vassali, a fish that lives in the Mediterranean Sea and, like many fish, uses specialized ...
Researchers have provided the first thorough mechanistic account of how a genetic defect leads to malignant hypothermia and central core disease, rare genetic skeletal muscle disorders. Researchers ...
The Journal of Biophysical and Biochemical Cytology, Vol. 10, No. 4, Part 2: Supplement: The Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (Aug., 1961), pp. 111-121 (11 pages) The extrinsic eye muscles of the killifish (F.
The ability to modify the intracellular concentrations of divalent calcium ions is vital to normal cell functioning. In the cells of the cardiac muscle, calcium ions play a crucial role in coupling ...
