Researchers in the Division of Nutritional Sciences have identified a molecular mechanism that constrains skeletal muscle regeneration and myofiber ...

BOSTON - New research finds that a compound in coffee could help you stay strong as you age. As we get older, we tend to lose muscle mass and strength putting us at higher risk for mobility problems, ...

Neuromuscular disorders can be caused by hereditary or acquired genetic mutations, impairing the function of skeletal muscles: those under voluntary control. These diseases cause muscles to weaken and ...

New research has identified the enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase 1 (GLUD1) as a new therapeutic target for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). In preclinical DMD mouse models, investigators demonstrated ...

A research team led by Biological Sciences Asst. Prof. Nicolai Konow will work across disciplines to develop a deeper understanding of how muscles function. “Everything has to be broken down to its ...

Study uncovers a polyphenol's mechanism in enhancing mitochondrial calcium uptake and muscle bioenergetics during aging. Study: Mitochondrial calcium uptake declines during aging and is directly ...

Neck muscles have an essential role in supporting and stabilizing your neck. More than 20 muscles are working to keep your head supported and moving. Your neck muscles have a range of responsibilities ...

You’re relaxing on the sofa when suddenly your eyelid starts twitching. Or perhaps it’s a muscle in your arm, your leg, or your foot that begins to spasm – sometimes for a few seconds, sometimes for ...

Electrical myostimulation is the use of electric currents to enhance muscle function. This type of therapy is called electrotherapy. It helps to strengthen and stimulate the recovery of muscles after ...
