However, the elastic anisotropy of skeletal muscle leads to uncertainties in shear wave velocity (SWV) measurements in SWE because the SWV varies with muscle fiber orientation. Therefore, many studies ...

One conceptual answer to this question is by an ancient transcription factor regulating ciliary gene expression in both unicellular and multicellular organisms, but examples of such transcription ...

By varying the process parameters, fibers with varying morphology and structure can be fine-tuned. Skeletal muscle is characterized by oriented myofibers bundled together to form the tissue ...

A pulled muscle—medically known as a strain—occurs when muscle fibers are stretched too far and sometimes tear. While mild muscle strains can show improvement in as little as three days, severely ...

A “useless” muscle that allows some people to wiggle their ears actually activates when we strain to hear something. Our ape ancestors lost the ability to pivot their ears when they diverged ...

This manuscript describes pioneering work providing a detailed description of iPS-derived muscle fiber differentiation in culture. It demonstrates that muscle fibers show self-organising capacities in ...

is organized into three interconnected levels – epimysium surrounds whole muscles, perimysium surrounds fascicles, and endomysium surrounds individual fibers (Borg and Caulfield, 1980; Trotter et al., ...
