- Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, are specialized cells designed for contraction and force production. Skeletal Muscle Cells: These cells are long, cylindrical, and have a striated (or striped) ...

MRI data shows skeletal frame size predicts muscle potential better than height, weight or BMI ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University have demonstrated that iron supplementation can significantly alleviate muscle pathology and functional decline in a mouse model of facioscapulohumeral muscular ...

Repeated exercise, or wasting, can change the way key genes work.

To study muscle diseases, scientists rely on the mouse as a model organism. Researchers have now developed a new method that is not only faster and more efficient than conventional ones but also ...

Proteins are essential for body growth and muscle building. However, protein metabolism varies depending on the body’s internal biological clock. Therefore, it is important to know how distribution of ...

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 uncovers a new mechanism to ...

Study uncovers a polyphenol's mechanism in enhancing mitochondrial calcium uptake and muscle bioenergetics during aging. Study: Mitochondrial calcium uptake declines during aging and is directly ...
