Repeated exercise, or wasting, can change the way key genes work.

Muscle atrophy is a prevalent condition in today's societies, but many of the roles that mitochondria play in the process remain unclear. In a recent study, researchers investigated how muscle atrophy ...

Muscle atrophy is a primary characteristic of both sarcopenia and cachexia, significantly impacting physical function and quality of life. This figure illustrates the multifaceted causes of muscle ...

With the intensification of global population aging, muscle atrophy, characterized by the loss of muscle mass and function, has become an important health issue affecting the elderly. Researchers have ...

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 as ...

The loss of muscle mass, or muscle atrophy, is a relatively common condition in today's aging and increasingly sedentary societies. While the disuse of muscles is the most frequent catalyst for muscle ...

Loss of muscle mass (muscle atrophy) can be a result of aging or lifestyle habits, like being inactive or eating a poor diet. Muscle loss can also point to hormone abnormalities or underlying health ...

Muscle-on-chip systems are three-dimensional human muscle cell bundles cultured on collagen scaffolds. A Stanford University research team sent some of these systems to the International Space Station ...

NEW ORLEANS — Medications in development would preserve muscle mass and augment fat loss when used in combination with glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists taken for weight loss. Several ...

The loss of muscle mass, or muscle atrophy, is a relatively common condition in today’s aging and increasingly sedentary societies. While the disuse of muscles is the most frequent catalyst for muscle ...
