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 ...

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 ...

Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered that a protein called platelet-derived growth factor subunit B (PDGF-B) is continuously secreted from skeletal muscle cells and helps to ...

Skeletal muscle loss is a risk factor for developing dementia, according to a study being presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). Skeletal muscles ...

Tokyo, Japan – Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered that a protein called platelet-derived growth factor subunit B (PDGF-B) is continuously secreted from skeletal muscle cells ...

Researchers have identified the role of the large Maf transcription factor family in regulating fast twitch muscle fibers. A mouse model lacking Maf expression in the skeletal muscles exhibited a ...

Maintaining muscle might be one way to help prevent dementia, new research suggests. "We found that older adults with smaller skeletal muscles are about 60% more likely to develop dementia when ...

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 ...

Several muscles could be called the "largest" in the body, depending on whether you're talking mass or surface area, but the body's smallest muscle has no competition. When you purchase through links ...

Researchers at the University of Liège, Eric Parmentier and Marc Thiry have just made the unexpected discovery of a novel organisation of muscle fibres in Parophidion vassali, a fish that lives in the ...
