The Kennedy College of Sciences, Department of Biological Sciences, invites you to attend a Ph.D. Proposal Defense in Applied Biology by Brandon Reder entitled "Morphological and physiological ...

Muscles exhibit a remarkable capacity to adapt to changing environments and play a vital role in a wide array of physiological functions, including locomotion, respiration, blood circulation, ...

There is perhaps no better way to see the absolute pinnacle of human athletic abilities than by watching the Olympics. But at the Olympics – and at almost all professional sporting events – you rarely ...

Exercising regularly is one of the best defenses against metabolic diseases, such as obesity and diabetes - but why? It's a question that scientists are still struggling to answer. While exercising ...

Skeletal muscle is a dynamic and highly adaptable tissue responsible for voluntary movement, posture and metabolic regulation. Its unique architecture, involving myofibres, satellite cells and a ...

One of the most frustrating things about exercise is how easily progress can be undone – "use it or lose it," as the old saying goes. If you don't keep up the workout routine, your muscles slowly ...

“In older adults, age 65 and up, who have lost significant muscle mass and function over prior decades, we thought metformin might combat muscle inflammation and thereby boost the muscle regrowth ...

Inflammation in the human body is a complex physiological response to a complex range of triggers, and scientists have just uncovered some useful new details about how it works by experimenting with ...

In aging and many diseases, muscles degenerate and there is a loss of function that can lead to many other health problems. As skeletal muscles break down, people can become frail and experience a ...

A team has discovered a possible therapeutic approach to repair injured muscles either from aging or degenerative muscle disorders. For millions of people, losing muscle isn't just about weakness; ...

Learn about how UT Austin physicists are using human muscles to design more efficiently designed robots. Physicists at The University of Texas at Austin have discovered that mimicking human muscles ...
