A research group led by Dr. Naoya Kase and Prof. Megumu Saito have successfully established a model to evaluate skeletal muscle regeneration efficiency and determine how macrophages contribute to the ...

Abnormally high blood sugar (glucose) levels can result in Type 2 diabetes when things go awry with the body's skeletal muscle, which plays a key role in regulating glucose. Scientists are using in ...

New publication identifies neuromuscular junction transmission failure as a novel mechanism contributing to sarcopenia, with preclinical studies showing that ClC-1 inhibition improves neuromuscular ...

Because RyR1 is also expressed in neurons, immune cells, and vascular smooth muscle, the E3896A model offers a unique tool to examine CICR's broader physiological roles. By combining gene engineering, ...

Researchers have found that cathepsin B, a protein released by skeletal muscles during exercise, can improve memory, motor ...

Abnormally high blood sugar (glucose) levels can result in type 2 diabetes when things go awry with the body's skeletal muscle, which plays a key role in regulating glucose. Scientists are using in ...

A new study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation suggests that skeletal muscle does more than power movement. Using three complementary mouse models, researchers found that two ...

The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. However, the physiological role of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) through the ryanodine receptor ...

Skeletal muscles-responsible for movement, joint stabilization, and postural support-are highly metabolically active and ...

Scientists are using in vitro skeletal muscle engineering to gain a better understanding of the complex genetic and environmental factors underlying diabetes, putting lab-grown, healthy skeletal ...
