Animal bodies are hierarchically organised from molecules and cells through tissues, organs and whole systems. Cellular architecture—membranes, cytoskeletons and extracellular matrices—provides ...

Muscle and bone constitute a multifunctional unit whose integrity is maintained through both mechanical forces and biochemical signalling. Mechanical loading generated by muscle contraction imposes ...

Our biceps and our brain cells may have more in common than previously thought. New research led by the Lippincott-Schwartz Lab shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those ...

Muscle memory is a powerful tool for enhancing muscle mass gains through improved coordination, recruitment of muscle fibres, ...

Losing muscle strength is a natural part of aging. At the core of this decline is a drop in the number of muscle stem cells (MuSCs), the specialized cells responsible for maintaining and regenerating ...

Duke-NUS scientists have discovered that aging muscle may contribute to cancer growth by releasing fewer extracellular ...

Before Adam Sharples became a molecular physiologist studying muscle memory, he played professional rugby. Over his years as an athlete, he noticed that he and his teammates seemed to return to form ...

The population across developed countries is getting older and the associated frailty and debilitation are becoming major health problems. This gradual muscle loss is accelerated by the poor capacity ...
