A research team led by Biological Sciences Asst. Prof. Nicolai Konow will work across disciplines to develop a deeper understanding of how muscles function. “Everything has to be broken down to its ...

Myofibrillar myopathy type 6 (MFM6) is a rare genetic muscle disorder that leads to severe muscle weakness and a drastically shortened life expectancy due to a disruption in muscle protein regulation.

Stimulating muscle fibers with magnets causes them to grow in the same direction, aligning muscle cells within tissue. The findings offer a simpler, less time-consuming way for medical researchers to ...

New research has identified the specific biological mechanism behind the muscle dysfunction found in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and further shows that calcium channel blockers can reverse these ...

A new research paper was published in Volume 18 of Aging-US on March 27, 2026, titled “ATF5 is required for the maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis and skeletal muscle health during aging.” ...

Fat, not skeletal muscle, accounted for most of the weight loss. According to the study, GLP-1 medicines reduced body fat in obese mice much more than lean body mass, and fat and liver mass fell ...

New MRI-based research has found that diets high in ultra-processed foods are linked to increased fat within thigh muscles, a condition that can weaken muscle function and raise osteoarthritis risk.
