Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists who arranged for 48 human bioengineered heart tissue samples to spend 30 days at the International Space Station report evidence that the low gravity conditions ...

Female anatomy differs from male anatomy in many different respects. Generally speaking, girls and women are smaller, overall, than boys and men, and have less dense bones, more fat tissue, and ...

Testosterone helps release growth hormones, which stimulate tissue growth, and it connects with nuclear receptors in DNA, which causes protein synthesis (or muscle growth). Turner points out that ...

Here it is shown that Caenorhabditis elegans mutants with increased longevity turn on gene expression programs in somatic tissue that are normally limited to the germ line; this may be the secret ...

The disciplines of pharmacology and physiology touch on virtually every field of the biomedical sciences, presenting endless opportunities to discover disease mechanisms and develop new treatments.

How do our muscles respond at the molecular level to exercise? Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and the German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbrücke (DIfE) have unraveled the cellular ...

The heart is a muscle like no other, beating 60 to 100 times per minute on average, around the clock. But when it grows weak, it can lead to serious problems: from debilitating shortness of breath ...

Proteins are the building blocks of muscles, tissues, and cells, and sufficient protein intake is necessary for muscle protein synthesis and repair. Fats are vital for providing energy ...

The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded ... whether that cell is in nerve tissue, muscle or the immune system—or anywhere else. Problems with gene function can lead to ...

transcript Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery of microRNA, which plays a role in organism development and gene regulation.

The remainder of this chapter will further address the rapidly growing field of IN medication delivery, particularly with respect to anatomy ... tissue here than in brain, liver, or even muscle ...
