Together, these findings suggest that ferulic acid can act as a natural regulator of intestinal motility. By reducing excessive smooth muscle activity, the compound could potentially help calm ...

Building functional human muscle in the laboratory has long been a goal of regenerative medicine, but one stubborn obstacle ...

A new 3D model shows that Duchenne gene therapy can repair muscle fibers but fails to shut down the signals that drive scarring.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (May 9, 2023) – A long molecule of RNA found in abundance in the healthy smooth muscle cells that give our blood vessels strength and flexibility is also essential to the continuous ...

Researchers have investigated the role of a certain enzyme in regulating energy in muscle and exercise performance for ...

The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. However, the physiological role of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) through the ryanodine receptor ...

Swallowing is a fundamental human function that supports nutrition and communication. Damage to swallowing muscles can reduce quality of life and even lead to aspiration pneumonia or malnutrition.

A new study explains how a tiny enzyme switch helps muscles make energy during exercise and may even connect to diabetes risk ...

Researchers identified a critical AMPK phosphorylation site that regulates mitochondria, muscle contraction, and sugar ...

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 ...
