Muscles make up nearly 40% of the human body and power every move we make, from a child's first steps to recovery after ...

New research describes how nerve cells and muscle cells communicate through electrical signals during development -- a phenomenon known as bioelectricity. The communication, which takes place via ...

Building muscles: Muscle stem cells (their nuclei marked in blue) gradually alter their structure and function, becoming adult muscle cells (whose nuclei turn red). Those cells will eventually fuse ...

University of Delaware’s Mona Batish is a molecular biologist. She studies circular RNAs formed as a result of so-called molecular mistakes that occur when a strand of RNA — the ribonucleic acid that ...

Walking represents one of humanity’s most fundamental movements, yet its potential for muscle development remains surprisingly underappreciated. While often relegated to the category of light cardio ...

Muscle loss is a common part of aging. For people over 60, maintaining or developing muscles can help prevent falls, maintain mobility, and prevent loss of function. This may be possible through ...

Researchers have developed a novel bioink that uses a sustained-release hormone to promote the growth and regeneration of 3D-printed muscle tissues. Their approach opens the door to developing new ...

Building muscle is a multifaceted process that requires more than just lifting weights. To achieve optimal muscle growth, it’s crucial to understand the intricate balance between proper nutrition, ...
