Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered that a protein excreted by type I (slow) muscle fibers, key to muscle endurance, can cause surrounding myoblasts, ...

An experimental study in Science Advances shows that statins, primarily fluvastatin in these experiments, may promote ...

Translational proof-of-concept studies for gene therapeutics often match the payload gene sequence to the preclinical animal model as this avoids immune responses that could compromise drug efficacy.

Researchers from the German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke (DIfE) and other partner institutions of the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD) have now identified a previously ...

Your thigh is made up of a few different groups of muscles. The thigh is an important part of your body because your thighs bear most of your body’s weight! It’s consequently important to keep your ...

Biological muscles act as flexible actuators, generating force naturally and with an impressive range of motion. Unsurprisingly, scientists and engineers have been striving to build artificial muscles ...

Stimulating muscle fibers with magnets causes them to grow in the same direction, aligning muscle cells within tissue. The findings offer a simpler, less time-consuming way for medical researchers to ...
