Accomplishing perhaps a world first, researchers at Columbia University and the UChicago-affiliated Marine Biological Laboratory have mapped the full-body muscular activity of an animal while it was ...

Researchers at the University of Basel have developed a gene therapy that could potentially treat a rare and currently fatal ...

Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a new class of protein-based fibers modeled on the aligned ...

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have delivered proof of principle in a mouse study demonstrating that embryonic stem cells can be used to spur the development of dystrophin-producing ...

Hibernating animals are known to maintain their muscle mass during periods of hibernation, despite the lack of food during these periods. Typically, skeletal muscle undergoes severe atrophy and ...

To study muscle diseases, scientists rely on the mouse as a model organism. Researchers have now developed a new method that is not only faster and more efficient than conventional ones but also ...

One of the downsides to getting older is that skeletal muscle loses its ability to heal after injury. New research from the University of Pittsburgh implicates the so-called "longevity protein" Klotho ...
