As muscles age, their cells lose the ability to regenerate and heal after injury. Cornell Engineering researchers have created the most comprehensive portrait to date of how that change, in mice, ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University have demonstrated that iron supplementation can significantly alleviate muscle pathology and functional decline in a mouse model of facioscapulohumeral muscular ...

Polymeric ion compounds can bind together with plasmid DNA to form a drug delivery vehicle for intramuscular injection. The team found that their new compound shows effective delivery of pDNA over ...

This study reveals abnormal iron accumulation in the muscles of patients with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) and in mice expressing muscle-specific DUX4 (DUX4-Tg mice). Contrary to ...

Having healthy mitochondria, the organelles that produce energy in all our cells, usually portends a long healthy life whether in humans or in C. elegans, a tiny, short-lived nematode worm often used ...

That humans can engineer muscle tissue in petri dishes is extraordinary, but it isn't enough to heal serious bodily injuries. To do that, you also need tissue that has the ability to grow strong, heal ...
