A potential way to treat muscular dystrophy directly targets muscle repair instead of the underlying genetic defect that usually leads to the disease, researchers say. Muscular dystrophies are a group ...

The "muscular" category serves users who are specifically attracted to substantial muscle mass, to bodies that have clearly ...

Scientists have developed a novel approach of genome editing to repair muscle stem (satellite) cells, offering new hope for ...

The Difference: Athletic bodies have muscle tone and definition that skinny bodies lack, but significantly less mass than ...

A specific gene may play a key role in new treatments that prevent muscle in the body from breaking down in serious muscle diseases. This is shown in a new study at Umeå University, Sweden. Protein ...

Muscular dystrophy is a group of genetic disorders that cause progressive muscle weakness and loss of muscle mass, primarily in the skeletal muscles, such as those in the arms and legs. But muscular ...

Scientists have uncovered a molecular signaling pathway involving Stat3 and Fam3a proteins that regulates how muscle stem cells decide whether to self-renew or differentiate -- an insight that could ...

IT'S MUCH HARDER to build new muscle tissue than it is to maintain what you’ve already built, especially as you get older. If ...

Congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD) is a disease that affects certain muscles. Individuals with CMD may experience symptoms such as muscle weakness and joint problems. “Congenital” means present since ...
