Compounds in green tea can reprogram muscle metabolism to boost insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance, according to new ...

The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is a specialised organelle in skeletal muscle fibres that plays a pivotal role in regulating calcium dynamics crucial for muscle contraction and relaxation. Acting as ...

The results of studies in mice suggest that vitamin D deficiency may impair muscle mitochondrial function, impacting on energy production in muscle cells and so potentially affecting muscle ...

A. Fluorescent immunostaining of PDGFRα, showing mesenchymal progenitors, laminin surrounding skeletal muscle, and AR. Arrows indicate mesenchymal progenitors expressing AR, arrowheads indicate ...

An international research team led by a University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine investigator has revealed ultra-detailed ...

A decline in metabolism and endurance of skeletal muscle is commonly observed in obese patients, but the underlying mechanism is not well-understood. A research team led by Dr Chi Bun CHAN, Assistant ...

A new study suggests that a gene variant affecting skeletal muscle function may have protected humans against lower temperatures as they migrated from Africa to Europe more than 50,000 years ago. A ...

Scientists have produced a comprehensive roadmap of muscle aging in mice that could be used to find treatments that prevent decline in muscle mobility and function. Scientists have produced a ...

Tissue-resident macrophages can originate from embryonic or adult hematopoiesis. They play important roles in a wide range of biological processes including tissue remodeling during organogenesis, ...

The effect of iron supplementation on skeletal muscle atrophy in cancer patients and sufferers from other wasting diseases has been investigated by scientists who studied causes of these conditions in ...
