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 ...

A supplement of ketones may be the magic bullet that allows patients using weight-loss drugs to avoid the potentially adverse side-effect of a shrinking heart and skeletal muscle, according to a ...

Numerous motor and structural proteins compose a highly ordered structure known as the sarcomere, the basic unit of muscle contraction in heart and skeletal muscles. Sarcomeric myosin heavy chain ...

Exploratory Phase 2a study showed consistent and clinically meaningful functional improvements across muscle strength, motor performance, and ...

Scientists have established a link between gut microbes and muscle growth and function -- a finding that could open new doors to interventions for age-related skeletal muscle loss. The microorganisms ...

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 ...

From arthritis and heart failure to diabetes and menopause, many conditions are associated with muscle weakness and increased fat deposits. Now a multidisciplinary team of researchers at the ...

Skeletal muscle stem cells in hibernating Syrian hamsters preserve their ability to function by suppressing their activation ...

Estrogen acts as a regulator of muscle energy metabolism and muscle cell viability, research shows. Menopause leads to the cessation of ovarian estrogen production concurrent to the deterioration of ...
