The role of integrins in muscle differentiation was addressed by ectopic expression of integrin α subunits in primary quail skeletal muscle, a culture system particularly amenable to efficient ...

As we age, our muscles atrophy. Earlier this year, researchers found that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a protein critical in skeletal muscle development loses its functionality due to nitration as ...

The loss of muscle mass, or muscle atrophy, is a relatively common condition in today’s aging and increasingly sedentary societies. While the disuse of muscles is the most frequent catalyst for muscle ...

Researchers have identified a protein that’s critical to the development of skeletal muscle mass and strength and the tissue’s ability to metabolize glucose. They say their findings may lead to ...

Researchers have fabricated the first wearable sensor designed to detect and monitor muscle atrophy. Researchers at The Ohio State University have fabricated the first wearable sensor designed to ...

With the intensification of global population aging, muscle atrophy, characterized by the loss of muscle mass and function, has become an important health issue affecting the elderly. Researchers have ...

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.

Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered that a protein called platelet-derived growth factor subunit B (PDGF-B) is continuously secreted from skeletal muscle cells and helps to ...

HGF nitration disrupts muscle homeostasis as an organism age. The new rat anti-HGF monoclonal antibody the research team developed, called 1H41C10, specially binds to the nitration sites of HGF and ...
