Muscles make up nearly 40% of the human body and power every move we make, from a child's first steps to recovery after ...

Skeletal muscle and cardiovascular diseases continue to pose significant challenges to public health, affecting a wide range ...

The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. However, the physiological role of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) through the ryanodine receptor ...

Space exploration activity has been increasing. In turn, researchers are more interested than ever in uncovering more about how space travel affects human health and the progression of disease.

As people age, muscles naturally lose mass and strength, a condition known as sarcopenia. The decline can make everyday ...

When bones break and there is extreme tissue loss--such as after a car accident or a battlefield injury--current treatments don't often lead to effective healing. But certain stem cells from skeletal ...

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

Researchers at Kumamoto University have demonstrated that iron supplementation can significantly alleviate muscle pathology ...

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

New research shows hibernating mammals protect muscle stem cells by suppressing activation, inflammation, and regeneration during cold, inactive periods.
