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

The "muscular" category serves users who are specifically attracted to substantial muscle mass, to bodies that have clearly ...

A potential way to treat muscular dystrophy directly targets muscle repair instead of the underlying genetic defect that usually leads to the disease, researchers say. Muscular dystrophies are a group ...

A specific gene may play a key role in new treatments that prevent muscle in the body from breaking down in serious muscle diseases. This is shown in a new study at Umeå University, Sweden. Protein ...

The Difference: Athletic bodies have muscle tone and definition that skinny bodies lack, but significantly less mass than ...

Symptoms of DMD start in early childhood. Often, the first noticeable sign is a delay in reaching developmental milestones, like walking well by 18 months of age or sitting or standing without ...

Scientists have uncovered a molecular signaling pathway involving Stat3 and Fam3a proteins that regulates how muscle stem cells decide whether to self-renew or differentiate -- an insight that could ...

Grants include research funding in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), Duchenne muscular dystrophy, facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), mitochondrial ...

Congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD) is a disease that affects certain muscles. Individuals with CMD may experience symptoms such as muscle weakness and joint problems. “Congenital” means present since ...
