The intricacies of excitable tissues, including cardiac, nervous, and skeletal muscle systems, pose substantial challenges in creating artificial analogs that can replicate their bioelectrical, ...

Cardiac muscle tissue, or myocardium, is a type of muscle tissue that forms the heart. It contracts and releases involuntarily and keeps the heart pumping blood around the body. The human body ...

Ion channels are crucial for the normal function of excitable tissues such as neurons and skeletal muscle. Since the discovery that the paroxysmal muscle disorder periodic paralysis is caused by ...

This new hydrogel system (IT-IC) can protect the gel from destruction by external forces. In conventional covalently crosslinked hydrogels (e.g., methacrylated hyaluronic acid, referred to as MeHA), ...

The muscular system works to control the movement of our body and internal organs. Muscle tissue contains something called muscle fibers. Muscle fibers consist of a single muscle cell. They help to ...
