This study investigates how muscle coordination changes with muscle size during cycling by simulating metabolic cost minimization across scaled muscle models.

This study compares the transcriptomic profiles of three rat muscles with different functions, finding unique gene expression patterns related to their roles in jaw movement and metabolism.

The paper quantifies how jaw muscle morphology predicts diet in mammals, finding that specific muscle complexes like the medial pterygoid and temporalis are strong dietary predictors.

The paper tests if inactive muscle mass imposes an inertial penalty on work during submaximal contractions in rat plantaris muscles, finding no significant reduction in work beyond that explained by decreased fascicle strain.
