Researchers Sumika Kato, Takeo Kubo, and Taro Fukazawa of the University of Tokyo have discovered that c1qtnf3, a secreting factor, namely a protein molecule that is secreted by a cell and influences ...

In a recent study published in NPJ Microgravity, scientists explore the impact of spaceflight on human vascular smooth muscle cells at the transcriptomic level. Study: Spaceflight effects on human ...

Muscle cells contain their own circadian clocks and disrupting them with shift work can have a profound impact on aging, according to the results of a preclinical study carried out by Jeffrey Kelu, ...

Findings show that impaired autophagy leads to muscle degeneration, inflammation, and mitochondrial defects, while ...

Multiple follistatin domains within FS-344 enable it to interact with various members of the TGF-β superfamily, including activins, growth differentiation factors (GDFs), and myostatin. These ...

In myofibrillar myopathy type 6 (MFM6), the sarcomeres—the smallest units of the muscle fiber responsible for muscle movement and tension—break down. This is triggered by a defective BAG3 protein ...

Scientists have found that the human heart can regenerate muscle cells after a heart ...

The impact of circadian disruption on muscle health and aging has been uncovered. A research team at King’s College London (UK) has uncovered the intrinsic and extrinsic effects that circadian ...

Can a compound derived from a common kitchen ingredient help support muscle health during aging? A new study suggests it can.

The biology behind muscle pain: calcium chaos, microscopic damage, and the overlooked mechanism that explains how statins can ...
