Special Issue on Muscle Structure and Function

Muscles can produce force and motion in our body. Muscle cells slide past one another producing a contraction that changes the length and the shape of the cell. All the muscles in the human body show biochemical specialisation which allows them to perform their particular physiological functions. As muscles play such an important role in our daily life, research on Muscle Structure and Function can help us have a good understanding of motion and physical damages.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring muscle structure and function. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Types of tissue
• Muscular system
• Muscle contraction
• Function
• Energy consumption
• Nervous control
• Exercise and health
• Muscle injury and disease
• Muscle memory

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Muscle Structure and Function” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
