Researchers have uncovered a molecular “switch” that helps explain why exercise keeps ageing muscles healthy. By reducing ...

Autophagy is the process by which cells remove damaged proteins, recycle worn-out organelles (e.g., mitochondria), clear ...

New research has identified the enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase 1 (GLUD1) as a new therapeutic target for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). In preclinical DMD mouse models, investigators demonstrated ...

Muscle injuries are common in the active population, and they cause the majority of player leaves in the world of sport. Depending on the severity, recovery of muscle function is quite slow and may ...

A research team led by Prof. Chen Yan and Prof. Yang Lifeng from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed a physiological function of monocarboxylate ...

If you feel tired or weak and no good night’s sleep can cure it, that bone-deep weariness might be from a vitamin B-12 ...

A new study suggests that statins may activate inflammatory "danger signals" inside muscle cells, leading to weakness and muscle loss in susceptible individuals.

New experimental research suggests statin-related muscle symptoms may be linked to inflammatory signalling and disrupted muscle metabolism. The study points to reduced isoprenoid production, impaired ...

Study finds out why exercise reverses muscle ageing ...
