Researchers at the University of Houston are pushing the boundaries of biomedical innovation with a discovery that could transform treatment for one of cancer's most devastating complications. In a ...

About 80% of people with cancer suffer from significant muscle wasting, or loss of muscle tissue, and 30% of these patients die from this condition. New research in mice finds that the severity of ...

HOUSTON – A newly identified gene, atrogin-1, is involved in muscle loss associated with cancer, diabetes, fasting and kidney disease as well as in the atrophy occurring with disuse, inactivity, and ...

New research shows skeletal muscle keeps a 'molecular memory' of repeated inactivity — but the effect differs by age. Young muscles build resilience, while older muscles become more vulnerable to ...
