UF Health Researchers’ New Findings Have Implications for Muscle Development, Disease

To allow movement and function, our muscles use tiny “contraction machines” inside of cells. Each on its own is too weak to move even a fingernail, but muscles can move entire bodies through the precise organization and coordination of these machines.

Now a group of University of Florida Health researchers has learned more about how skeletal muscle cells organize their components to function properly and sustain life. The findings have important implications for muscle development, maintenance, and disease, the researchers said.
