A new role of calcium in the development of muscles has been reported by two RIKEN biologists.

muscle structure and critical illness polyneuropathy/myopathy. One review reported that due to a lack of good quality randomised controlled trials and inconsistency in measuring outcomes, there was ...

A person’s chest may hurt when they cough as a result of muscle strain from coughing. However, it can also be a sign of pleurisy, pneumonia, and other serious conditions. In many cases ...

They found that a protein known as BCL6 is in charge of maintaining muscle structure – and by increasing its presence, it could stop the tissue from deteriorating without compromising any weight ...

and the muscle they did have was compromised both in structure and function. However, when the researchers increased the expression of BCL6 in the animals' muscles, this successfully reversed the ...

Background: Low skeletal muscle volume may increase dementia risk through mechanisms affecting brain structure. However, it is unclear whether this relationship exists outside of sarcopenia and/or ...

Spinal cord injury leads to loss of innervation of skeletal muscle, decreased motor function, and significantly reduced load on skeletal muscle, resulting in atrophy. Factors such as braking, hormone ...

If you've been looking to develop muscle in your upper body and increase the definition around muscles like your chest, back, shoulders and arms then it's a good idea to add some form of resistance ...

Not all chest muscles are built in the gym. You can build, tone, and strengthen your upper body muscle at home with the right kind of exercises that use some form of force to work against. In this ...

skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Only cardiac muscle tissue, comprising cells called myocytes, is present in the heart. In this article, we discuss the structure and function of cardiac muscle tissue.
