Muscles make up nearly 40% of the human body and power every move we make, from a child's first steps to recovery after ...

Skeletal muscle is a dynamic and highly adaptable tissue responsible for voluntary movement, posture and metabolic regulation. Its unique architecture, involving myofibres, satellite cells and a ...

Exploratory Phase 2a study showed consistent and clinically meaningful functional improvements across muscle strength, motor performance, and ...

Researchers have identified a protein that’s critical to the development of skeletal muscle mass and strength and the tissue’s ability to metabolize glucose. They say their findings may lead to ...

Muscles make up nearly 40% of the human body and power every move we make, from a child’s first steps to recovery after ...

A research collaboration led by the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) aims to create a molecular map of human muscle regeneration, a project that could accelerate the development of muscle ...

A study by Indiana University School of Medicine researchers sheds new light on the development and treatment of a rare form of muscular dystrophy. The study's findings were recently published in ...

The Company’s lead candidate, EDG-5506, an investigational orally administered small molecule designed to protect injury-susceptible fast skeletal muscle fibers in dystrophinopathies, is advancing in ...

Dr. Mackey’s project, “ Regenerating healthy human skeletal muscle at single nucleus resolution ,” will create the most detailed molecular map to date of how healthy human muscle repairs itself. The ...

Muscles are formed by the merging of many small myoblasts into larger myofibers. This fusion of mononucleated myoblasts with a single nucleus into multinucleated myofibers with multiple nuclei is an ...

Blocking a certain type of ion channel has been shown to prolong survival in mouse models of severe Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), which could lead to the development of novel treatments in humans ...
