Skeletal muscle cells cultured in a microgravity environment, known to result in muscle atrophy, exhibited a sharp reduction ...

Utilizing rat muscle culture, researchers developed an antibody that prevents the age-induced dysfunction of hepatocyte ...

Unlike the skeletal muscle degenerative process, for which treatment options are currently limited, therapy is available for the cardiovascular complications that accompany muscular dystrophy.

Gene therapy designed to supply replacement genes to skeletal muscles may hold the key to a cure. Current treatment techniques favor a viral delivery of replacement genes, through what’s known ...

For example, the decrease of muscle mass and function, leading to weakness and atrophy. This is a pressing concern in ... a ...

Patients with degenerative diseases that attack skeletal muscle tissues, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, may soon benefit from novel stem cell therapies. A study has demonstrated how new ...

As we age, our muscles atrophy. Earlier this year, researchers found that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a protein critical in skeletal muscle development loses its functionality due to nitration ...

Credit: iStock. Conversely, sedentarism and aging impair the MPS and MPB response, often leading to muscle atrophy. “Inactivity leads to the desensitization of skeletal muscle to dietary amino acids.

Myofibers in DMD patients undergo continuous cycles of degeneration and regeneration ... Other factors, independent of skeletal muscle NO, may also be involved in misregulation of the vasculature ...
