Researchers from Leibniz Institute on Aging—Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena and BTU (Cottbus) have identified the cause of changes in the behavior of muscle stem cells. The insights are the ...

It’s no secret that regular exercise is great for the body and the brain. Scientific studies have shown, time and time again, that physical activity has both short and long-term cognitive benefits, ...

Certain cancers cause people to weaken and waste away. A mouse model of this points to tumour-induced blockade of molecules that normally protect muscle innervation and mass. Will the discovery lead ...

The benefits of leading an active lifestyle are wide-ranging and increasingly well-established, but there is still plenty we can learn by drilling into the details of its long-term impacts on the ...

In an aging society, one of the most important and urgent tasks of scientific research is to counteract the decline in motor function and muscle weakness that accompanies the aging process. A research ...

Much like their name implies, the quadricep muscles were once thought to be a set of four muscles, with the name “quad” translating to “four or fourth” in Latin. However, it has since been discovered ...

Scientists report a new deep learning tool based on Bayesian U-Net architecture that can segment individual muscles from CT images. The high accuracy of the results offers a new level of personalized ...

Neck muscles have an essential role in supporting and stabilizing your neck. More than 20 muscles are working to keep your head supported and moving. Your neck muscles have a range of responsibilities ...

In an aging society, one of the most important and urgent tasks of scientific research is to counteract the decline in motor function and muscle weakness that accompanies the aging process. A research ...

A research group conducted experiments using aged mice to demonstrate that muscle denervation at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ, *1) could be appreciably offset by an NMJ formation-enhancing ...
