UCLA researchers found NDRG1 builds up in old muscle stem cells, slowing repair but boosting survival. Blocking it speeds ...

Researchers have uncovered a molecular “switch” that helps explain why exercise keeps ageing muscles healthy. By reducing ...

Muscle-on-chip systems are three-dimensional human muscle cell bundles cultured on collagen scaffolds. A Stanford University research team sent some of these systems to the International Space Station ...

Study finds out why exercise reverses muscle ageing ...

A new study generated one of the most comprehensive spatially resolved transcriptomic maps of cellular communication between ...

A new study suggests that statins may activate inflammatory "danger signals" inside muscle cells, leading to weakness and ...

Thirty marks the spot. Starting at this age, we begin to lose approximately three to eight percent of muscle mass per decade. With it, we also lose strength and mobility. Left unaddressed, this loss ...

The population across developed countries is getting older and the associated frailty and debilitation are becoming major health problems. This gradual muscle loss is accelerated by the poor capacity ...

Millions of people rely on statins, a medication used to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.

New experimental research suggests statin-related muscle symptoms may be linked to inflammatory signalling and disrupted muscle metabolism. The study points to reduced isoprenoid production, impaired ...

Our biceps and our brain cells may have more in common than previously thought. New research led by the Lippincott-Schwartz Lab shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those ...

Whole-body MRI (WB-MRI) may improve ALS diagnostic certainty. WB-MRI assesses muscle swelling (edema) as a marker for lower ...
