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

“This article illuminates the biology behind EDG-5506, demonstrating that modulation of fast skeletal muscle contraction protects against muscle injury, degeneration and fibrosis in models of DMD,” ...

In a serendipitous discovery, UC San Diego researchers using cryo-EM technology captured the first visualizations of the 3-D structure of the muscle acetylcholine receptor in fetal and adult muscles.

Space exploration activity has been increasing. In turn, researchers are more interested than ever in uncovering more about how space travel affects human health and the progression of disease.

Muscle contraction is the tightening, shortening, or lengthening of muscles when you do some activity. It can happen when you hold or pick up something, or when you stretch or exercise with weights.

The “atrofish” reveals early triggers of sarcopenia and links muscle loss to nerve degeneration, establishing a platform for comparative research on muscle aging and potential therapies As people age, ...

The findings could have implications for robotics, prosthetics and energy efficient machines. John McGrath and José Alvarado with HillBot, a robot designed to test parameters of muscle strength and ...

As people age, muscles naturally lose mass and strength, a condition known as sarcopenia. The decline can make everyday activities harder and increases the risk of falls, disability and early death.

Canadian researchers have developed a beating three-dimensional heart-on-a-chip with real-time cellular sensing, offering a safer and more precise way to test drugs and study heart disease.
