In a finding that opens the door to the development of targeted therapies for various muscle disorders, newly published research identifies key mechanisms of skeletal muscle regeneration and growth of ...

Researchers have investigated the effect of increased cell temperature on the contractility of skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle by heating the muscle proteins using advanced microscopical techniques ...

Skeletal muscle is the largest metabolic organ in the body. It is composed of muscle fibers, blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue. In skeletal muscle, blood vessels are responsible for ...

Danielle “Nellie” Bruns, an associate professor in the University of Wyoming’s Department of Zoology and Physiology, has received a five-year, $1.78 million research grant from the National Institutes ...

Rapid weight loss can cause a greater loss of muscle mass than losing weight slowly. The popularity of newer weight-loss drugs that shed pounds quickly has raised concerns among researchers about how ...

There's a lot of talk about lean muscle compared to bulk muscle, but experts say it's not worth differentiating the two. Learn why.

If further research can identify the substances that the bacteria of the gut are making to help muscles grow following exercise, we might be able to use some of those substances to promote the growth ...

A team of researchers led by Xiaoguang Dong, assistant professor of mechanical and biomedical engineering at Vanderbilt University, have developed a magnetic robotic valve to provide minimally ...
