The film discusses the intricate relationship between muscles and bones, highlighting the mechanics of body movement. It explains how muscles work by contracting and relaxing in coordination with ...

When muscle cells are viewed under the microscope, one can see that they contain a striped pattern (striations). This pattern is formed by a series of basic units called sarcomeres that are ...

As little as five minutes a day of eccentric exercise could offer significant health benefits to those living a sedentary ...

This system is mainly concerned with producing movement through muscle contraction. This section explores the different types of muscles in our body and their involvement in sporting activities.

Rock climbing has increased in popularity as both a recreational physical activity and a competitive sport. Climbing is physiologically unique in requiring sustained and intermittent isometric forearm ...

The study of molecular mechanics and cellular motility. Cell motility, regulation of cell shape and the mechanism and regulation of muscle contraction. Our lab’s main interest is the study of ...

Muscles are complex 3D structures containing many muscle fibres embedded in a matrix of connective tissue. I am interested in the mechanisms that affect the forces and deformations in muscles when ...

As a member of the Molecular Cardiac Physiology Group, my lab focuses on the mechanisms that regulate Ca2+ signaling and contraction of vascular smooth muscle. My interests fall into two themes: 1) ...
