A protein best known for protecting the ends of chromosomes also helps muscle stem cells preserve their identity and repair ...

A team of Georgia Tech researchers has introduced a new therapeutic system to offset the poor clinical outcomes often associated with common rotator cuff surgery. It's the kind of surgery that makes ...

The study demonstrates that TRF2 goes beyond its traditional role of capping chromosome ends. In muscle stem cells, TRF2 ...

Instead, they found a mechanism that speeds muscle repair, which may inspire new medicines for slowing muscle wasting and helping injured people. The study also suggests that macrophages could ...

A new study identified DEAF1 as a gene involved in muscle ageing and repair. Exercise appeared to lower DEAF1 activity, helping older muscles clear damage and restore healthier protein balance. The ...

Traumatic muscle injury can be associated with volumetric muscle loss (VML), often leading to permanent functional loss. Until recently, experimental therapies to support muscle regeneration have ...

By Professor Hasnain Zafar A hernia is one of the most common abdominal conditions affecting adults today, yet it remains widely misunderstood until a ...

Stronger quadriceps muscles, relative to the hamstrings, may lower the risk of total knee replacement, according to research being presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of ...

Exercise helps restore natural repair systems in muscle cells that become out of balance with age, according to new research from Singapore. Atrophy and loss of individual muscle fibers increase with ...

Researchers have identified a key gene that may explain why regular exercise helps ageing muscles stay stronger and healthier. The discovery could pave the way for new treatments to slow age-related ...
