The E2F transcription factor is a key cell cycle regulator. However, the inactivation of the entire E2F family in Drosophila is permissive throughout most of animal development until pupation when ...

A new way to artificially control muscles using light, with the potential to restore function to muscles paralyzed by conditions such as motor neuron disease and spinal cord injury, has been developed ...

Biotechnologists have developed a system to accurately measure muscle weakness caused by structural changes in muscle tissue. The new method allows muscle function to be assessed using imaging without ...

Scientists from the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, and from University of Cambridge, United Kingdom, have found new functions and structural details of muscle attachment structures. The research is ...

Here are the signs of muscle loss and what you can do to maintain your strength.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by a mutation in the DMD gene that prevents dystrophin production, leading to progressive muscle weakness and early mobility challenges. The 2018 DMD ...

A University of Michigan study has shown that traumatic experiences during childhood may get “under the skin” later in life, impairing the muscle function of people as they age. The study examined the ...

A new study finds that long-term heat therapy may increase mitochondrial function in the muscles. The discovery could lead to new treatments for people with chronic illness or disease. The study, the ...

Learn how to exercise safely with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, for your flexibility, mobility, and overall health, without ...
