A decline in metabolism and endurance of skeletal muscle is commonly observed in obese patients, but the underlying mechanism is not well-understood. A research team led by Dr Chi Bun CHAN, Assistant ...
Numerous motor and structural proteins compose a highly ordered structure known as the sarcomere, the basic unit of muscle contraction in heart and skeletal muscles. Sarcomeric myosin heavy chain ...
Sarcopenia, the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function with aging, is a key driver of frailty, ...
Muscles make up nearly 40% of the human body and power every move we make, from a child's first steps to recovery after ...
Uteroplacental insufficiency and subsequent intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) affects postnatal metabolism. In juvenile rats, IUGR alters skeletal muscle mitochondrial gene expression and reduces ...
Scientists have established a link between gut microbes and muscle growth and function -- a finding that could open new doors to interventions for age-related skeletal muscle loss. The microorganisms ...
To investigate the mechanism behind skeletal muscle growth and regeneration, researchers bombarded zebrafish with chemical mutagen and screened for larvae with defective skeletal muscle structure.
