Researchers developed a high-sensitivity proteomics method to analyze individual human muscle fibers. The technique ...

Researchers have identified the role of the large Maf transcription factor family in regulating fast twitch muscle fibers. A mouse model lacking Maf expression in the skeletal muscles exhibited a ...

Most humans move a lot less than our ancestors did, a change in use which is likely reflected in the composition of muscles themselves. Understanding our muscle makeup is a key step towards improving ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have shown that the protein Musashi-2 (Msi2) plays a key role in the regulation of mass and metabolic processes in skeletal muscle. They ...

Skeletal muscle is the type of muscle that controls movement. Problems with these muscles can be minor, life-threatening, or ongoing problems that make it hard to perform basic daily activities.

It's well known that spaceflight causes muscle atrophy and other biological changes in reduced gravity, and especially in ...

Intestinal microorganisms can affect human muscle strength. This is the conclusion reached by the researchers in a paper ...
