New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmitting signals in ...

Our biceps and our brain cells may have more in common than previously thought. New research led by the Lippincott-Schwartz Lab shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those ...

American researchers have discovered that simvastatin is able to bind to the RyR1 calcium channel in muscle cells and keep it open. The resulting calcium leakage can contribute to muscle weakness and ...

Losing muscle strength is a natural part of aging. At the core of this decline is a drop in the number of muscle stem cells (MuSCs), the specialized cells responsible for maintaining and regenerating ...
