Omschrijving
Thoroughly researched using experimentation and re-examination of all previously published evidence, this book is a carefully crafted treatise and revision of previous conceptions of muscle contraction. It presents detailed descriptions of new, previously unpublished data and hybrids recent findings with the standard Huxley model. It demonstrate
"The monograph is a magisterial work by a scientist who thinks deeply about his subject. The three highlighted topics above only sample a fraction of the subjects covered in depth in the book. The monograph is a rich exploration of the experimental evidence; it is a challenging and sometimes infuriating read because of the selective interpretation of results, but it ofers a valuable opportunity to reassess our understanding of one of the most basic property of animal life—locomotion."
--Michael A. Ferenczi, B.Sc., Ph.D., Lee Kong Chain School of Medicine, Singapore, in Journal of Muscle Research and Cell Motility December 2016
Jean-Emile Morel earned his PhD in physical chemistry and a second PhD in biophysics at the Ecole Centrale Paris. He was a researcher at the Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique at Saclay, France, where he focused on the complex problem of muscle contraction. He remained at Saclay from 1980 to 2004, becoming professor of bioengineering, biophysics, and cell physiology at the Ecole Centrale Paris and Université Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris, as well as joint director of the DEA course and of the Molecular Biophysics Doctoral School of Université Pierre et Marie Curie. He also founded the Laboratory of Biology at the Ecole Centrale Paris in 1993. Since his retirement in 2004, he has devoted much of his time to reviewing the existing data on muscle contraction and trying to resolve the conundrums of the field.
