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

Autophagy is the process by which cells remove damaged proteins, recycle worn-out organelles (e.g., mitochondria), clear ...

Muscle memory is one of those phrases everyone uses, but the science behind it is a lot more interesting than “your muscles remember”. It is a story about your brain, your nervous system and your ...

A new study generated one of the most comprehensive spatially resolved transcriptomic maps of cellular communication between ...

As we get older, our bodies change in many ways. For example, muscles tend to get weaker as people age. Researchers have now ...

Researchers have uncovered a molecular “switch” that helps explain why exercise keeps ageing muscles healthy. By reducing ...

Scientists at UCLA discovered a surprising reason aging muscles heal more slowly. In older muscle stem cells, a protein called NDRG1 builds up and acts like a brake, slowing the cells’ ability to jump ...

The population across developed countries is getting older and the associated frailty and debilitation are becoming major health problems. This gradual muscle loss is accelerated by the poor capacity ...

Muscle memory is a powerful tool for enhancing muscle mass gains through improved coordination, recruitment of muscle fibres, ...

Improvements in public health have allowed humankind to survive to older ages than ever before, but, for many people, these added golden years are not spent in good health. Aging is a natural part of ...

A muscle patch crafted from stem cells has improved cardiac function in monkeys with heart disease. It is now being tested in a small number of people, with early results from the first recipient ...

Liz covers cardiovascular and metabolic disease, asking why we’re not doing better or even losing ground against the world’s leading killer. Send tips on Signal at LizC.22. By its name and nature, ...
