The E2F transcription factor is a key cell cycle regulator. However, the inactivation of the entire E2F family in Drosophila is permissive throughout most of animal development until pupation when ...

A new way to artificially control muscles using light, with the potential to restore function to muscles paralyzed by conditions such as motor neuron disease and spinal cord injury, has been developed ...

Muscle is able to regenerate through a process that involves multiple steps and players, including the immune system. As our organism ages, the muscles lose the capacity to regenerate. Now, a new ...

The muscular dystrophies are known to target various muscle groups differentially. In addition to making limb muscles weak, muscular dystrophy (MD) can also lead to decreased function of specific ...

Healthy, robust muscles are required for movement and normal bodily functions, but they can decline as we age. This can ...

A new way to artificially control muscles using light, with the potential to restore function to muscles paralysed by conditions such as motor neuron disease and spinal cord injury, has been developed ...

Muscle strength is associated with better cognitive function in aging men and women, according to a new Finnish study. The association of extensively measured upper and lower body muscle strength with ...

Inspiratory muscle training improved diaphragm thickness and excursion in subacute ischemic stroke, strengthening inspiratory ...
