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

Older adults losing muscle strength now have a clearer molecular explanation for why regular physical activity slows that ...

Skeletal muscles—responsible for movement, joint stabilization and postural support—are highly metabolically active and heavily reliant on oxygen during physical activity. However, conditions such as ...

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 ...

Regular activity not only strengthens muscles but can bolster our bones, blood vessels, and immune system. MIT engineers have now found that exercise can also have benefits at the level of individual ...
