Lead author Dr. Caitlin Bemis has recently published a paper in JEB investigating the ability of a “muscle avatar” to recreate in vivo force-length dynamics. This method allows a muscle from a well-established rodent animal model to be used to investigate dynamics and mechanical function of muscles from other species: https://journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/doi/10.1242/jeb.248177/362484 Bemis, C., Konow, N., Daley,…

New paper accepted in JEB!
Dr Janneke Schwaner is the lead author on a new paper accepted in the Journal of Experimental Biology, “Muscle force-length dynamics during walking over obstacles indicates delayed recovery and a shift towards more strut-like function in birds with proprioceptive deficit.”, with co-authors Joanne Gordon and Andrew Biewener. In this paper we compare and contrast obstacle…
