Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a new class of protein-based fibers modeled on the aligned ...

Researchers identified a molecular pathway that can limit muscle repair, a finding that may guide future muscular dystrophy treatments.

Scientists at the University of California, Irvine's School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences have discovered how muscle ...

Researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and at Sun Yat-sen University have generated what they claim is the first comprehensive atlas of aging muscles in humans. The team applied single-cell ...

Mutations in a calcium ion channel anoctamin 5 (ANO5), commonly found in muscle cells, cause the debilitating disease called limb girdle muscular dystrophy 2L (LGMD2L). Characterized by progressive ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a way of mapping the distribution of carnitine in skeletal muscle cells. Carnitine is a small compound that helps transport ...

Scientists found that muscles store a chemical record of past inactivity that gets significantly worse with age.

University of Delaware’s Mona Batish is a molecular biologist. She studies circular RNAs formed as a result of so-called molecular mistakes that occur when a strand of RNA — the ribonucleic acid that ...

As the name implies, induced pluripotent stem cells can become any type of cell in our body, and scientists have evidence that when they prompt them to become muscle progenitor cells they can help ...

In a recent clash against the Melbourne Storm, the Brisbane Broncos endured a nightmare rarely seen in professional sport—three players tore their hamstrings in a single game. Two players, Adam ...
