Using a new fluorescent mouse model with advanced imaging techniques, researchers have successfully visualized how musculoskeletal components are integrated into the functional locomotor system during ...

Extensive research is providing new insights into the roles that our normal gut microbiota play on health and disease. A healthy gut microbiome contributes to skeletal health, but studies in mice have ...

Researchers have identified a protein that’s critical to the development of skeletal muscle mass and strength and the tissue’s ability to metabolize glucose. They say their findings may lead to ...

For the first time, researchers have measured the mechanical stresses and strains brought about by foetal movements during the second half of gestation, using computational modelling based on MRI ...

Humans have a distinctive skeleton, and are the only bipedal great apes (the great ape species are bonobos, chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, and humans). While the evolution of the human skeleton ...

People with higher risks of cardiovascular disease are significantly more likely to develop carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, and rotator cuff tendinitis, according to a new study ...

The skeletal system is made up of your bones and creates the support structure for the rest of your tissue and organs. Your skeletal system gives your body shape, supports your muscles, provides ...
