A biomechanical model for the relation between bite force and mandibular opening angle in arthropods
Bite forces play a key role in animal ecology: they affect mating behaviour, fighting success,
and the ability to feed. Although feeding habits of arthropods have a significant ecological …

[HTML][HTML] Age-related changes in the matrisome of the mouse skeletal muscle
Aging is characterized by a progressive decline of skeletal muscle (SM) mass and strength
which may lead to sarcopenia in older persons. To date, a limited number of studies have …
