New tools for the investigation of muscle fiber-type spatial distributions across histological sections

Abstract Background The functional and metabolic properties of skeletal muscles are partly a function of the spatial arrangement of fibers across the muscle belly. Many muscles feature a non-uniform spatial pattern of fiber types, and alterations to the arrangement can reflect age or disease and cor...
