These muscles are voluntary, meaning you can control what they do. But because most of your muscles are skeletal muscles, myopathies can cause many problems throughout your body.

New research from the Exercise Medicine Research Institute at Edith Cowan University (ECU) has highlighted that children ...

Researchers have identified the role of the large Maf transcription factor family in regulating fast twitch muscle fibers. A mouse model lacking Maf expression in the skeletal muscles exhibited a ...

The discovery that some muscle proteins act as a temperature sensor may lead to a new hyperthermia strategy, in which skeletal muscle performance is improved by warming up the muscle.

Several muscles could be called the "largest" in the body, depending on whether you're talking mass or surface area, but the body's smallest muscle has no competition.

When you pull a muscle, you tear it, but the damage can vary in severity. Certain muscles are more at risk, and recovery is fairly straightforward.
