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 ...

Researchers have identified a protein that’s critical to the development of skeletal muscle mass and strength and the tissue’s ability to metabolize glucose. They say their findings may lead to ...

University of Delaware’s Mona Batish is a molecular biologist. She studies circular RNAs formed as a result of so-called molecular mistakes that occur when a strand of RNA — the ribonucleic acid that ...

A study by Indiana University School of Medicine researchers sheds new light on the development and treatment of a rare form of muscular dystrophy. The study's findings were recently published in ...

Skeletal muscle is the type of muscle that controls movement. Problems with these muscles can be minor, life-threatening, or ongoing problems that make it hard to perform basic daily activities.

A new study has unveiled the crucial role of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) in skeletal development. Researchers have found that a deficiency of LRP1 in skeletal progenitor ...

Blocking a certain type of ion channel has been shown to prolong survival in mouse models of severe Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), which could lead to the development of novel treatments in humans ...

The exponential rise of our aging population. The pandemic. The explosion of GLP-1s. It’s a trifecta that’s making muscle — and the serious implications of not having enough of it — part of a larger ...

Skeletal muscle cells facilitate voluntary movements such as walking, running, and other forms of exercise. They are comprised of thin, tubular cells called muscle or myofibres due to their threadlike ...
