Muscles can only contract and relax, so they always work in pairs called antagonistic muscles. Skeletal muscle is joined to bones. Its cells contract to make bones move and joints bend.

These findings suggest that IGFBP-6 could potentially be used to help guide skeletal muscle regeneration for use in stem cell therapies. “We plan on using mouse models with muscle injury to test ...

Background: It is well established that prolonged, exhaustive endurance exercise is capable of inducing skeletal muscle damage and temporary impairment of muscle function. Although skeletal muscle has ...
