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 ...

In findings that may eventually lead to targeted therapies that treat age-related muscle atrophy, a group of researchers from ...

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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