Content for the Muscle Physiologist
Marching Forward: Recent Skeletal Muscle Discoveries
In conjunction with the Advances in Skeletal Muscle Biology conference, the following publication review digs into the impacts of protein dysfunctions, knockdowns, and modifications on skeletal muscle health.
Down the Rabbit Hole: Breakthroughs in Biophysics
In line with this year’s Biophysical Society Annual Meeting (BPS2025), the following publication review goes down the rabbit hole of biophysics discoveries, including the development of a muscle model from a rabbit fiber study, the impact of neurodevelopmental risk genes on gut physiology, and the contributions of cell tension and bulk viscoelasticity on cell stiffness.
Murine Muscle Mechanics Workshop at York University
Hosted by Dr. Christopher Perry and Dr. Arthur Cheng in the Muscle Health Research Centre at York University, and produced in partnership with Endpoint Preclinical, our Murine Muscle Mechanics Workshop integrates fundamentals of muscle physiology and mechanics as well as hands-on laboratory training in multiple functional assays.
