Abnormally high blood sugar (glucose) levels can result in Type 2 diabetes when things go awry with the body's skeletal muscle, which plays a key role in regulating glucose. Scientists are using in ...

The results of studies by a University of Lund-led international research team could help to explain why people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have poorer muscle strength and quality. Their work in human ...

Researchers have provided an in-depth analysis of 3D in vitro biomimetic skeletal muscle tissue models, highlighting the great potential of bioprinting technology. Skeletal muscle can be functionally ...

Biological muscles act as flexible actuators, generating force naturally and with an impressive range of motion. Unsurprisingly, scientists and engineers have been striving to build artificial muscles ...

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 ...

This genetic model suggests otherwise, indicating that coupled gating or other mechanical interactions, rather than CICR, drive activation of uncoupled RyR1 channels. Interestingly, the researchers ...

Muscle atrophy is a primary characteristic of both sarcopenia and cachexia, significantly impacting physical function and quality of life. This figure illustrates the multifaceted causes of muscle ...

Researchers have developed a mathematical model that can predict the optimum exercise regime for building muscle. Researchers have developed a mathematical model that can predict the optimum exercise ...
