The Structure and Role of Intramuscular Connective Tissue in Muscle Function
Peter P PurslowThis narrative review analyzes the microscopic structure of intramuscular connective tissue—endomysium, perimysium, and epimysium—and its role in muscle function. Rather than acting simply as a container, this connectiv…

Fascial hierarchies and the relevance of crossed-helical arrangements of collagen to changes in the shape of muscles
Graham ScarrMuscles are complex structures wrapped in layers of fascia reinforced with collagen fibers. This article describes how these collagen fibers are often arranged in a specific crisscrossing, spiral-like pattern known as a…

Passive muscle stiffness may be influenced by active contractility of intramuscular connective tissue
Robert Schleip, Ian L Naylor, Daniel Ursu, Werner Melzer, Adjo Zorn, Hans-Joachim Wilke, Frank Lehmann-Horn, Werner Kli…This paper proposes the hypothesis that connective tissue within muscles, specifically the layer known as the perimysium, can actively contract. This contraction, likely driven by specialized cells called myofibroblasts…
