The ensemble of skeletal muscles can be considered the largest metabolic and endocrine organ of the human body. The more than ...

A new study has identified the HDAC11 protein, an enzyme involved in cellular regulation, as a new potential therapeutic ...

Muscle cells contain their own circadian clocks and disrupting them with shift work can have a profound impact on aging, ...

New mechanisms discovered that show how development-dependent disruptions in mitochondrial function lead to premature skeletal aging.

Human skeletal muscle possesses both reversible proteomic signatures and a retained proteomic memory after repeated resistance training. The Journal of Physiology , 2025; DOI: 10.1113/JP288104 ...

Background: It is well established that prolonged, exhaustive endurance exercise is capable of inducing skeletal muscle damage and temporary impairment of muscle function. Although skeletal muscle has ...

In addition, androgens have anabolic effects, as indicated by its alias, anabolic steroid, and administration of androgens is known to cause hypertrophy of skeletal muscle. In addition ...

That’s because skeletal muscle grows and repairs at the fastest rate while you snooze, according to 2020 research in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise. (So, the fewer hours of sleep you ...

Troponin refers to three different proteins that help regulate the contractions of the heart and skeletal muscles. Normal troponin levels range from 0 to 0.04 nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml).

Muscles are attached to bones by tendons. Muscles contract to move our bones by pulling on them. However, muscles can only pull; they cannot push. This is why they usually work a joint in pairs ...
