ANN ARBOR, Michigan, July 11 -- The University of Michigan issued the following news:
Study: Active hydraulics and odd elasticity of muscle fibers
The flow of water within a muscle fiber may dictate how quickly muscle can contract, according to a University of Michigan study.
Nearly all animals use muscle to move, and it's been known for a long time that muscle, like all other cells, is composed of about 70% water. But researchers don't know what sets the r . . .
