A question left unanswered in a biologist's lab notebook for 40 years has finally been explained, thanks to a little fish that couldn't wriggle its tail. New research from the University of Oregon ...
Skeletal muscle development is cornerstone of vertebrate locomotion, relies on the functionally distinct muscle fiber-type. Although the cellular dynamics in myogenesis have been extensively studied, ...
Breast muscle development is directly related to meat production and quality 1. During myogenesis in the chicken, primary muscle fibers are formed in the early embryo, secondary muscle fibers grow ...
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is a major neurotransmitter in the nervous system that has also been identified in embryos where its function remains unclear. In 2 January online Nature Neuroscience, ...
Walking represents one of humanity’s most fundamental movements, yet its potential for muscle development remains surprisingly underappreciated. While often relegated to the category of light cardio ...
With embryolike constructs built entirely from stem cells, researchers can revolutionize our understanding of development. But how close to an embryo is too close? In April, researchers in China ...
New research describes how nerve cells and muscle cells communicate through electrical signals during development -- a phenomenon known as bioelectricity. The communication, which takes place via ...
