HOUSTON – A newly identified gene, atrogin-1, is involved in muscle loss associated with cancer, diabetes, fasting and kidney disease as well as in the atrophy occurring with disuse, inactivity, and ...
Muscle-on-chip systems are three-dimensional human muscle cell bundles cultured on collagen scaffolds. A Stanford University research team sent some of these systems to the International Space Station ...
Muscle atrophy is a prevalent condition in today's societies, but many of the roles that mitochondria play in the process remain unclear. In a recent study, researchers investigated how muscle atrophy ...
Most of us have imagined how free it would feel to float around, like an astronaut, in conditions of reduced gravity. But have you ever considered what the effects of reduced gravity might have on ...
Skeletal muscle atrophy, or wasting, is a devastating and often irreversible syndrome during the aging process and for patients with advanced cancer. Muscle wasting involves a decrease in muscle mass ...
The loss of muscle mass, or muscle atrophy, is a relatively common condition in today's aging and increasingly sedentary societies. While the disuse of muscles is the most frequent catalyst for muscle ...
More than 30 types of muscular dystrophy have been identified. They all cause problems with movement due to muscle protein defects caused by genetic mutations. Muscular dystrophy is a group of ...
This image from video provided by UPMC and University of Pittsburgh Health Sciences shows Doug McCullough, who has spinal muscular atrophy, during tests of experimental spinal cord stimulation to ...
Muscle loss can creep up faster than you think. Whether it’s due to injury, life changes or simply taking a break from working out, the body begins to change almost immediately when you stop using it.
The loss of muscle mass, or muscle atrophy, is a relatively common condition in today’s aging and increasingly sedentary societies. While the disuse of muscles is the most frequent catalyst for muscle ...
Washington — Three people with a muscle-destroying disease destined to worsen got a little stronger – able to stand and walk more easily – when an implanted device zapped their spinal cord. On ...
