Scientists at the University of California, Irvine's School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences have discovered how muscle ...

As we age, the muscles we rely on for daily activities tend to become less reliable. With enough decline, even normal movements such as getting out of bed become risky. Low muscle mass in the ...

A UCLA study in mice reveals that aging muscle stem cells accumulate a protein that slows repair but boosts survival. This ...

The mechanism for muscle stem cells repair could inspire therapeutics for muscle loss caused by injury, aging and weight-loss medications.

Aging muscles heal more slowly after injury—a frustrating reality familiar to many older adults. A UCLA study conducted in mice reveals an unexpected cause: Stem cells in aged muscle accumulate higher ...

Sarcopenia—reduced muscle mass, strength, and function—is often associated with aging and frequently impacts quality of life in the elderly. Individuals with sarcopenia are also prone to further ...

Scientists at the University of California, Irvine's School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences have discovered how muscle stem cells "flip a switch" to rebuild damaged muscle—a finding that could ...

Muscle tissue from aged mice seven days after injury. Left: Aged mice with normal NDRG1 levels show slower regeneration with smaller muscle fibers. Right: Aged mice in which NDRG1 was recently blocked ...
