Muscle loss (atrophy) due to inactivity is common after illness, injury, hospitalization or falls, and becomes increasingly ...

Abnormally high blood sugar (glucose) levels can result in Type 2 diabetes when things go awry with the body's skeletal muscle, which plays a key role in regulating glucose. Scientists are using in ...

Scientists are using in vitro skeletal muscle engineering to gain a better understanding of the complex genetic and environmental factors underlying diabetes, putting lab-grown, healthy skeletal ...

The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. However, the physiological role of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) through the ryanodine receptor ...

Scientists found that muscles store a chemical record of past inactivity that gets significantly worse with age.

Space exploration activity has been increasing. In turn, researchers are more interested than ever in uncovering more about how space travel affects human health and the progression of disease.

New research pinpoints faulty branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism as a driving force behind sarcopenia, highlighting a potential pathway to slow muscle deterioration and improve aging health.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13, 2022 – Abnormally high blood sugar (glucose) levels can result in Type 2 diabetes when things go awry with the body's skeletal muscle, which plays a key role in regulating ...
