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 ...

Biotechnologists have developed a system to accurately measure muscle weakness caused by structural changes in muscle tissue. The new method allows muscle function to be assessed using imaging without ...

Kiisa Nishikawa is a researcher at NAU who has worked for years on her theory regarding muscle contraction. Her “winding-filament” theory has the potential to change textbooks and may ultimately ...

Optical microscopy is a very useful technique to examine the appearance of a sample with greater detail, but there are some limitations that provide a boundary to its use in practice. Cross section of ...

Biotechnologists at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have developed a system to accurately measure muscle weakness caused by structural changes in muscle tissue. The new method ...
