We have identified a macrophage population "Mrep" that plays an essential role in muscle repair. However, in Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), Mrep functions as a pathogenic cell that ...

Researchers from the University of Southern Denmark investigated how eight weeks of high-intensity interval training affect the structure of mitochondria—the parts of muscle cells that produce energy.

Musculoskeletal disorders are a primary cause of disability worldwide, especially in aging societies like Japan. As individuals age, reductions in muscle mass and physical activity weaken the body's ...

BACKGROUND: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) and its severe form, chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), significantly impair blood flow to the lower extremities, affecting millions of adults ...

Researchers found that GLP-1 medicines caused weight loss mainly through fat reduction, with only modest decreases in absolute muscle mass and no disproportionate loss of muscle function. In mice, ...

NUS researchers have developed a platform that lets lab-grown muscle tissues train themselves to record-breaking strength, ...

Space exploration activity has been increasing. In turn, researchers are more interested than ever in uncovering more about how space travel affects human health and the progression of disease.

Swallowing is a fundamental human function that supports nutrition and communication. Damage to swallowing muscles can reduce ...
