New Year, New Insights: Unique Models in Muscle Physiology
Ringing in the new year is an exciting time for resolutions, recalibrations, and research. The ‘New Year, New Me’ mindset can help kickstart a period of personal growth, and recent research indicates that new animal models can do the same for science. The following publication review covers a fascinating collection of muscle physiology studies in a range of different animal models – from brown bears and cunner fish, to golden retrievers.
