Building functional human muscle in the laboratory has long been a goal of regenerative medicine, but one stubborn obstacle ...

Researchers from the University of Southern Denmark investigated how eight weeks of high-intensity interval training affect the structure of mitochondria – the parts of muscle cells that produce ...

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

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 ...

As we age, the muscles we rely on for daily activities tend to become less reliable. With enough decline, even normal movements such as getting out of bed become risky. Low muscle mass in the ...

A new 3D model shows that Duchenne gene therapy can repair muscle fibers but fails to shut down the signals that drive scarring.

Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a new class of protein-based fibers modeled on the aligned structure of animal skeletal muscle, producing materials that resist ...

Building functional human muscle in the laboratory has long been a goal of regenerative medicine, but one stubborn obstacle remains: real muscle is not just a mass of cells. Its strength and function ...

During hibernation, brown bears spend up to six months lying almost completely still, without eating, drinking or exercising.
