Researchers created a CRISPR-based platform to study human muscle formation, identifying hundreds of genes essential for ...
Sarcopenia, the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function with aging, is a key driver of frailty, ...
Skeletal muscle and cardiovascular diseases continue to pose significant challenges to public health, affecting a wide range ...
The contraction process involves interactions between actin and myosin filaments within the sarcomeres to generate force. Recent research has achieved significant advances in functional design, ...
Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have shown that the protein Musashi-2 (Msi2) plays a key role in the regulation of mass and metabolic processes in skeletal muscle. They ...
Muscles are formed by the merging of many small myoblasts into larger myofibers. This fusion of mononucleated myoblasts with a single nucleus into multinucleated myofibers with multiple nuclei is an ...
“This article illuminates the biology behind EDG-5506, demonstrating that modulation of fast skeletal muscle contraction protects against muscle injury, degeneration and fibrosis in models of DMD,” ...
New research shows hibernating mammals protect muscle stem cells by suppressing activation, inflammation, and regeneration during cold, inactive periods.
If your doctor has suggested that you may have a myopathy, you likely have a lot of questions. There are many types of myopathies with different causes and outlooks. Myopathies are a class of diseases ...
You’re relaxing on the sofa when suddenly your eyelid starts twitching. Or perhaps it’s a muscle in your arm, your leg, or your foot that begins to spasm – sometimes for a few seconds, sometimes for ...
