For most people, swallowing is second nature, but how does it occur, and why do some people have difficulty with it?

Researchers at Kyushu University in Japan have developed a mathematical model that recreates the muscle movements of the ...

The mathematical model is a computer simulation that shows how muscles in the throat and esophagus move when we swallow.

In a serendipitous discovery, UC San Diego researchers using cryo-EM technology captured the first visualizations of the 3-D structure of the muscle acetylcholine receptor in fetal and adult muscles.

Type IIb fast-twitch myofibers, known for their rapid contraction speed, are plentiful in small mammals but have largely ...

A new mathematical model reveals how swallowing works and sheds light on esophageal motility disorders, offering hope for ...
