You're relaxing on the sofa when suddenly your eyelid starts twitching. Or perhaps it's a muscle in your arm, your leg, or ...
Background Quadriceps maximal voluntary contraction (QMVC) reliably measures quadriceps muscle force and predicts mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the minimal ...
Childbirth depends not just on hormones, but on the uterus’s ability to sense physical force. Scientists found that pressure and stretch sensors in uterine muscles and surrounding nerves work together ...

In this study, the authors developed an organoid system containing smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs; pacemaker cells), but few enteric neurons. This system generates ...
A research group has uncovered important details about how platelet-activating factor (PAF)—a powerful molecule involved in inflammation and allergic reactions—triggers contractions in the smooth ...
A research group led by Dr. Keisuke Obara, Dr. Kento Yoshioka, and Professor Yoshio Tanaka from the Department of Chemical Pharmacology, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Toho University, has ...
The contractile responses of esophageal smooth muscle (SM) induced by platelet-activating factor (PAF) involve the activation of L-type voltage-dependent calcium channels (L-type VDCCs), ...
Resistance of voiding symptoms to α1-blockers in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has been provisionally explained by non-adrenergic prostate smooth muscle contraction. Here, we examined ...
