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 ...

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 ...

In a finding that opens the door to the development of targeted therapies for various muscle disorders, newly published research identifies key mechanisms of skeletal muscle regeneration and growth of ...

Life sciences have never been more digital. To learn more about life processes, biologists are collecting massive quantities of data that computer scientists analyze by means of sophisticated ...

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 ...

Myostatin, a member of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily, is a principal negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth and homeostasis. By binding to activin type II receptors, myostatin ...

A study conducted at the University of Jyväskylä's Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences investigated how a 10-week break from resistance training affected maximum strength and muscle size. The study ...

During development, regional dips in oxygen levels serve as a signal that triggers the coordinated growth of heart muscle and coronary vessels, according to a study led by researchers at Weill Cornell ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Building muscle takes more than a high-protein diet. While protein gets all the glory, there's a wide range of nutrients that are ...
