Skeletal muscle is the type of muscle that controls movement. Problems with these muscles can be minor, life-threatening, or ongoing problems that make it hard to perform basic daily activities.

An international research team led by a University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine investigator has revealed ultra-detailed ...

Researchers successfully developed and validated a new outcome measure to monitor disease severity and progression in patients with impaired skeletal muscle function caused by mitochondrial disease.

A. Fluorescent immunostaining of PDGFRα, showing mesenchymal progenitors, laminin surrounding skeletal muscle, and AR. Arrows indicate mesenchymal progenitors expressing AR, arrowheads indicate ...

An international research team has mapped the millisecond-by-millisecond process by which nerve signals activate muscles, uncovering a previously unseen “primed” intermediate step.

A decline in metabolism and endurance of skeletal muscle is commonly observed in obese patients, but the underlying mechanism is not well-understood. A research team uncovers a new mechanism to ...

A decline in metabolism and endurance of skeletal muscle is commonly observed in obese patients, but the underlying mechanism is not well-understood. A research team led by Dr Chi Bun CHAN, Assistant ...

Study uncovers a polyphenol's mechanism in enhancing mitochondrial calcium uptake and muscle bioenergetics during aging. Study: Mitochondrial calcium uptake declines during aging and is directly ...

Tissue-resident macrophages can originate from embryonic or adult hematopoiesis. They play important roles in a wide range of biological processes including tissue remodeling during organogenesis, ...
