As we age, our muscles atrophy. Earlier this year, researchers found that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a protein critical in skeletal muscle development loses its functionality due to nitration as ...

Muscle loss (atrophy) due to inactivity is common after illness, injury, hospitalization or falls, and becomes increasingly ...

As people age, muscles naturally lose mass and strength, a condition known as sarcopenia. The decline can make everyday activities harder and increases the risk of falls, disability, and early death.

Even if you’re logging strong miles, age-related muscle loss can creep in. The fix is surprisingly straightforward.

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 ...

Muscle atrophy is a primary characteristic of both sarcopenia and cachexia, significantly impacting physical function and quality of life. This figure illustrates the multifaceted causes of muscle ...

With the intensification of global population aging, muscle atrophy, characterized by the loss of muscle mass and function, has become an important health issue affecting the elderly. Researchers have ...

Muscle loss, or atrophy, due to inactivity is common after illness, injury, hospitalization or falls, and becomes increasingly frequent with aging ...

Aging isn't necessarily a linear process, and the muscles in particular start deteriorating more at this age, though that's ...

HGF nitration disrupts muscle homeostasis as an organism age. The new rat anti-HGF monoclonal antibody the research team developed, called 1H41C10, specially binds to the nitration sites of HGF and ...
