Understanding how muscle deteriorates could help researchers extend the human health span. “When you ask most older adults ...
Researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and at Sun Yat-sen University have generated what they claim is the first comprehensive atlas of aging muscles in humans. The team applied single-cell ...
Muscle-on-chip systems are three-dimensional human muscle cell bundles cultured on collagen scaffolds. A Stanford University research team sent some of these systems to the International Space Station ...
Thirty marks the spot. Starting at this age, we begin to lose approximately three to eight percent of muscle mass per decade. With it, we also lose strength and mobility. Left unaddressed, this loss ...
DECEMBER 3, 2025—(BRONX, NY)—Two related studies published today in Nature Metabolism show that a specialized intracellular recycling mechanism—chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA)—is essential for ...

Mastering muscle contraction from cell to strength
From the microscopic dance of actin and myosin to the full-body power you feel in a workout, muscle contraction is a precise, coordinated process. It starts with a nerve signal, triggers calcium ...
Muscle cells contain their own circadian clocks and disrupting them with shift work can have a profound impact on aging, according to the results of a preclinical study carried out by Jeffrey Kelu, ...
Myofibrillar myopathy type 6 (MFM6) is a rare genetic muscle disorder that leads to severe muscle weakness and a drastically ...
