A new way to artificially control muscles using light, with the potential to restore function to muscles paralyzed by conditions such as motor neuron disease and spinal cord injury, has been developed ...

Muscle is able to regenerate through a process that involves multiple steps and players, including the immune system. As our organism ages, the muscles lose the capacity to regenerate. Now, a new ...

The E2F transcription factor is a key cell cycle regulator. However, the inactivation of the entire E2F family in Drosophila is permissive throughout most of animal development until pupation when ...

Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School have uncovered how exercise helps aging muscles regain their ability to repair ...

The muscular dystrophies are known to target various muscle groups differentially. In addition to making limb muscles weak, muscular dystrophy (MD) can also lead to decreased function of specific ...

Proteins are essential for body growth and muscle building. However, protein metabolism varies depending on the body’s internal biological clock. Therefore, it is important to know how distribution of ...

All three experts explain that one common habit that can speed up muscle loss is spending the majority of the day sitting or ...
