Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare disease characterized by extensive bone growth outside of the normal skeleton that pre-empts the body’s normal responses to…
Human anatomy still has a few surprises in store for us: researchers at the University of Basel have discovered a previously overlooked section of our…
Uncovered: Key to How Exercise Protects Against Consequences of Aging Monash University, Australia scientists have discovered an enzyme that is key to why exercise improves…
As we age, our muscles gradually become smaller, weaker, and less able to heal after injury. In a new study, UPMC and University of Pittsburgh…
Weakening muscles are a natural part of the aging process, but for some people with a condition called sarcopenia the decline is abnormally fast. A…
A new study led by Spanish researchers describes a new mechanism for muscle repair after physiological damage relying on the rearrangement of muscle fiber nuclei,…
Muscle is known to regenerate through a complex process that involves several steps and depends on stem cells. Now, a new study led by researchers…
Extra brain processing during sleep enhances learning of new motor skills. Practice makes perfect, but sleep helps, too. Learning and executing a new motor skill…
Actuator Discovery Outperforms Existing Technology University of Houston researchers are reporting a breakthrough in the field of materials science and engineering with the development of…
Researchers have developed a mathematical model that can predict the optimum exercise regime for building muscle. The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, used methods…
Study in mice confirms link between mechanotherapy and immunotherapy in muscle regeneration. Massage has been used to treat sore, injured muscles for more than 3,000…
Roundworms change the flow of material in and out of their mouths in response to bright light, revealing a new way for neurons to control…
Vitamin D supplementation does not have beneficial effects on muscle function, strength, or mass, according to an analysis of all available data from relevant randomized…
Texas A&M researchers found that the small mammals are internally warmed by thermogenic leaking from their skeletal muscle, which elevates their metabolic rate. Sea otters…
Results of a compassionate-use study released in STEM CELLS Translational Medicine show promising results for treating muscular dystrophies with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from Wharton’s jelly…
Salk research reveals clues about molecular changes underlying muscle loss tied to aging. One of the many effects of aging is loss of muscle mass,…
People with type 2 diabetes tend to have poorer muscle function than others. Now a research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered that…
Eating just one cup of leafy green vegetables every day could boost muscle function, according to new Edith Cowan University (ECU) research. The study, published…
