An analysis of MRI scans led by Brigham researchers using artificial intelligence resulted in the production of a reference growth standard and a fast, reproducible…
The more we exercise our endurance, the fitter we become – and so do our muscles. They adapt to the load and are able to…
A recent study provides insight into the frequency of exercise necessary to reap its benefits. Interested in the health advantages of exercise but not eager…
The new study finds personalized rehabilitation may be needed to effectively address chronic knee pain. Neal Glaviano, assistant professor of kinesiology in the University of…
Diabetes might not be the first thing that comes to mind when considering muscle function. However, a widely used diabetes drug that controls blood sugar…
Additional research is required to elucidate the potential biological pathways, according to the authors of the study. High levels of lean muscle could protect against…
New research paves the way for new strategies to address long-term COVID-19 complications. Researchers from the University of Malta have identified a possible cause for…
Professor Ori Bar-Nur and his colleagues at ETH Zurich are pioneering the cultivation of muscle cells in the lab, currently using mouse cells as their…
A study shows that declawing significantly impacts the muscular capabilities of large cat species more than smaller cats. Despite it being illegal to surgically modify…
Queen Mary University researchers have engineered a self-sensing, variable-stiffness artificial muscle that mimics natural muscle characteristics. The breakthrough has significant implications for soft robotics and…
Digital modeling of legendary fossil’s soft tissue suggests Australopithecus afarensis had powerful leg and pelvic muscles suited to tree-dwelling, but knee muscles that allowed fully…
New research indicates that higher muscle adiposity, or fat within the body’s muscles, may increase the likelihood of cognitive decline during aging. A study involving…
New groundbreaking research on African killifish demonstrates that during the late stages of life, our muscles exhibit a remarkable reversal to an “early-life” state, providing…
Researchers have just made the unexpected discovery of a novel organization of muscle fibers in Parophidion vassali, a fish that lives in the Mediterranean Sea…
A team of researchers at iMM has discovered a protein capable of regulating the immune system and restoring the regenerative capacity of muscles in the…
According to a new study by the University of East Anglia, individuals who consume alcohol heavily may be jeopardizing their muscle health and predisposing themselves…
Myosteatosis, or high muscle fat accumulation, in asymptomatic adults significantly increases the risk of major health issues and mortality, according to a study in Radiology….
