Inspired by the structure of muscles, an innovative new strategy for creating fiber actuators could lead to advances in robotics, prosthetics, and smart clothing, according to a Penn State led team of ...

A new study has observed differences in the shape, structure and mechanical properties of nuclei in trained and untrained individuals, potentially helping to explain the anti-aging effects of exercise ...

Researchers identified a molecular pathway that can limit muscle repair, a finding that may guide future muscular dystrophy ...

New research has identified the enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase 1 (GLUD1) as a new therapeutic target for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). In preclinical DMD mouse models, investigators demonstrated ...

Findings published in The American Journal of Pathology identify GLUD1 enzyme as a potential therapeutic target for muscle restoration through metabolic reprogramming, addressing clinically unmet need ...

A person may inherit the genetic changes responsible for muscular dystrophy. These genetic changes can also occur due to spontaneous genetic mutations. In either case, the disease is not preventable.

While humans lose muscle within weeks of inactivity, brown bears preserve muscle during hibernation, offering clues for maintaining our muscle health.

New research has identified the enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase 1 (GLUD1) as a new therapeutic target for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). In preclinical DMD mouse models, investigators demonstrated ...

In a recent review published in the journal Cell Metabolism, researchers elucidated mechanisms and evaluated therapies for impaired skeletal muscle regeneration in diabetes, identifying research gaps ...
