Newly published research from the University of Houston College of Pharmacy identifies key mechanisms of skeletal muscle regeneration and growth of muscles following resistance exercise. It's a ...

In a finding that opens the door to the development of targeted therapies for various muscle disorders, newly published research identifies key mechanisms of skeletal muscle regeneration and growth of ...

Insulin resistance precedes and predicts the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), a chronic disease that causes high morbidity and mortality worldwide. In affected people, insulin is unable to ...

Type IIb fast-twitch myofibers, known for their rapid contraction speed, are plentiful in small mammals but have largely diminished in humans. Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have discovered ...

A new research paper was published in Volume 18 of Aging-US on March 27, 2026, titled “ATF5 is required for the maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis and skeletal muscle health during aging.” ...

Skeletal muscle is the type of muscle that controls movement. Problems with these muscles can be minor, life-threatening, or ongoing problems that make it hard to perform basic daily activities.

Autophagy plays a critical role in the regulation of skeletal muscle integrity; however, the molecular mechanisms regulating autophagy are not fully understood. In a recently published study, ...

Researchers have characterized changes in the structure of motor proteins, called myosins, and energy consumption that occur during hibernation, highlighting key differences in large and small ...

Metabolic health is maintained through the complex interplay between key tissues, including adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and the liver. Adipose tissue ...
