Walking represents one of humanity’s most fundamental movements, yet its potential for muscle development remains surprisingly underappreciated. While often relegated to the category of light cardio ...

University of Delaware’s Mona Batish is a molecular biologist. She studies circular RNAs formed as a result of so-called molecular mistakes that occur when a strand of RNA — the ribonucleic acid that ...

Myosin chaperones are pivotal in ensuring proper muscle development by guiding the folding, assembly, and quality control of myosin motor proteins. These specialised proteins, such as UNC-45, ...

Building muscles: Muscle stem cells (their nuclei marked in blue) gradually alter their structure and function, becoming adult muscle cells (whose nuclei turn red). Those cells will eventually fuse ...

Building muscle is a multifaceted process that requires more than just lifting weights. To achieve optimal muscle growth, it’s crucial to understand the intricate balance between proper nutrition, ...

As we age, our muscles atrophy. Earlier this year, researchers found that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a protein critical in skeletal muscle development loses its functionality due to nitration as ...

Walking is a powerful form of exercise that offers numerous benefits, many of which help promote healthy aging. But while studies have shown that walking can help build bone to improve bone density, ...

The loss of muscle mass, or muscle atrophy, is a relatively common condition in today’s aging and increasingly sedentary societies. While the disuse of muscles is the most frequent catalyst for muscle ...

The loss of muscle mass, or muscle atrophy, is a relatively common condition in today's aging and increasingly sedentary societies. While the disuse of muscles is the most frequent catalyst for muscle ...

Muscle atrophy is a prevalent condition in today's societies, but many of the roles that mitochondria play in the process remain unclear. In a recent study, researchers investigated how muscle atrophy ...
