Muscle ultrasound has emerged as a pivotal, non‐invasive imaging modality that offers real‐time insights into muscle structure and pathology. This technique enables both qualitative and quantitative ...

The type 1 ryanodine receptor (RyR1) is an important calcium release channel in skeletal muscles essential for muscle contraction. It mediates calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, a ...

Scientists have developed a novel approach of genome editing to repair muscle stem (satellite) cells, offering new hope for ...

A new method allows large quantities of muscle stem cells to be safely obtained in cell culture. This provides a potential for treating patients with muscle diseases -- and for those who would like to ...

Researchers have discovered a mechanism in our cells that is essential to energy production in the muscles. The discovery may lead to new treatment for disorders affecting the muscles, like diabetes, ...

Myasthenia gravis, or MG, is "a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disorder that causes muscle weakness and fatigue," says Hesterlee. It occurs "when a person’s immune system is essentially attacking ...

An Australian-first biobank will be established to improve and discover new treatments for children with genetic muscle diseases. These diseases, spanning dystrophies and myopathies, are characterised ...

A team at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) has developed an innovative method known as TEVs-TTN, for studying the specific mechanical functions of proteins through their ...

The US HHS has added Duchenne muscular dystrophy and metachromatic leukodystrophy to newborn screening, citing benefits of early detection and access to FDA-approved treatments.

I've been blogging for a few years about misophonia, an auditory/neurological disorder that I have advocated for because I and (more importantly) one of my adult children are affected. Recently, at ...
