Skeletal muscle stem cells in hibernating Syrian hamsters preserve their ability to function by suppressing their activation ...

Aging muscles heal more slowly after injury—a frustrating reality familiar to many older adults. A UCLA study conducted in mice reveals an unexpected cause: Stem cells in aged muscle accumulate higher ...

A new discovery may explain why so many people abandon cholesterol-lowering statins because of muscle pain and weakness. Researchers found that certain statins can latch onto a key muscle protein and ...

Sarcopenia—reduced muscle mass, strength, and function—is often associated with aging and frequently impacts quality of life in the elderly. Individuals with sarcopenia are also prone to further ...

Statins are a cornerstone of heart health, but muscle pain and weakness cause many patients to quit taking them. Scientists have now identified the precise molecular trigger behind these side effects.

Pioneering research by experts at the University of Sydney, the Baird Institute and the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in ...

Companion studies suggest muscle begins to decline decades before sarcopenia takes hold for keeps. The best part: The process ...

Thirty marks the spot. Starting at this age, we begin to lose approximately three to eight percent of muscle mass per decade. With it, we also lose strength and mobility. Left unaddressed, this loss ...

Researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and at Sun Yat-sen University have generated what they claim is the first comprehensive atlas of aging muscles in humans. The team applied single-cell ...

This unexpected ability opens the door for scientists to stimulate cellular mitosis and improve heart function after an ...

Key takeaways UCLA researchers studying mice discovered that stem cells in aged muscle accumulate a protective protein called NDRG1 that slows their ability to repair tissue but helps the cells ...

You're relaxing on the sofa when suddenly your eyelid starts twitching. Or perhaps it's a muscle in your arm, your leg, or ...
