The study demonstrates that TRF2 goes beyond its traditional role of capping chromosome ends. In muscle stem cells, TRF2 ...

In a study published in Nature Communications biophysicists unravel the mystery of how muscles form at the molecular level and maintain their function. The findings may help design treatments for ...

A protein best known for protecting the ends of chromosomes also helps muscle stem cells preserve their identity and repair ...

Biophysicists unraveled a mystery of how muscles form at the molecular level and how they maintain their function.

UCLA researchers found NDRG1 builds up in old muscle stem cells, slowing repair but boosting survival. Blocking it speeds healing.

Researchers from the Universities of Hildesheim, Bonn and Freiburg have uncovered how human skeletal muscle responds to ...

Aging muscles may not lose the signals needed for repair. Instead, those signals may remain in place but become chemically ...

An ingredient found in kitchens around the world is drawing scientific attention for what it did under tightly controlled ...

A Phase III trial found the donor-derived cell therapy deramiocel slowed arm muscle decline in boys and young men with advanced Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Muscle isn’t the only place where nature has solved the problem of coordinating many tiny motors. Microscopic flagella are ...

A sulfur-based compound called LASSS appears to protect and supercharge a key protein involved in repairing damaged muscle.

Muscles become weaker with age partly because a natural repair signal called HGF can become chemically damaged and stop ...
