Muscle Biophysics From Molecules to Cells

Muscle Biophysics From Molecules to Cells / edited by Rassier Dilson J.E.

Muscle contraction has been the focus of scientific investigation for more than two centuries, and major discoveries have changed the field over the years. This book centers mostly on mechanical studies, dealing with force production and regulation; it gathers studies performed by scientists who hav...
