In a serendipitous discovery, UC San Diego researchers using cryo-EM technology captured the first visualizations of the 3-D structure of the muscle acetylcholine receptor in fetal and adult muscles.

Biological muscles act as flexible actuators, generating force naturally and with an impressive range of motion.

Researchers at the University of Liège, Eric Parmentier and Marc Thiry have just made the unexpected discovery of a novel organisation of muscle fibres in Parophidion vassali, a fish that lives in the ...
