Abstract
- The author reflects on the continued search of engineers, scientists and doctors for answers to figure out how the actions of motor and cytoskeletal proteins such as actin and myosin lead to the contraction of muscle fibers, which can help lead to therapies and treatments for muscular disorders. He mentions the journal's cover story, "The Secret Life of the Spine" by William S. Marras, which focuses on the load and tolerance relationship.
