Jump higher, run faster with plyometric power
Plyometric training taps into your body’s natural stretch-shortening cycle to build explosive power, speed, and agility. From vertical jumps to box jumps, these movements challenge your muscles to ...
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.

Genetic model reveals a form of calcium release is unnecessary for normal muscle contraction
The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. However, the physiological role of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) through the ryanodine receptor ...
