Walking represents one of humanity’s most fundamental movements, yet its potential for muscle development remains surprisingly underappreciated. While often relegated to the category of light cardio ...

New research describes how nerve cells and muscle cells communicate through electrical signals during development -- a phenomenon known as bioelectricity. The communication, which takes place via ...

A new role of calcium in the development of muscles has been reported by two RIKEN biologists. Stress is generally damaging and destructive, but it can sometimes spur productivity and creation. This ...

University of Delaware’s Mona Batish is a molecular biologist. She studies circular RNAs formed as a result of so-called molecular mistakes that occur when a strand of RNA — the ribonucleic acid that ...

Researchers have identified the role of the large Maf transcription factor family in regulating fast twitch muscle fibers. A mouse model lacking Maf expression in the skeletal muscles exhibited a ...

During development, regional dips in oxygen levels serve as a signal that triggers the coordinated growth of heart muscle and coronary vessels, according to a study led by researchers at Weill Cornell ...

A study conducted at the University of Jyväskylä's Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences investigated how a 10-week break from resistance training affected maximum strength and muscle size. The study ...

There are two types of muscle memory – one of which can help us in the gym. antoniodiaz/ Shutterstock Whether it’s riding a bike, playing the piano or hitting a hole in one, there are just some things ...
