A research team led by Prof. CHEN Yan and Prof. YANG Lifeng from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed a physiological function of ...

Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a new class of protein-based fibers modeled on the aligned ...

Almost one in five people lack the protein α-actinin-3 in their muscle fiber. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden now show that more of the skeletal muscle of these individuals comprises ...

Researchers at the University of Cincinnati say a regulatory protein found in skeletal muscle fiber may play an important role in the body's fight or flight response when encountering stressful ...

Scientists at the University of Cincinnati and colleagues report that a regulatory protein found in skeletal muscle fiber may play an important role in the body’s fight or flight response when ...

Researchers say a regulatory protein found in skeletal muscle fiber may play an important role in the body's fight or flight response when encountering stressful situations. Researchers at the ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a way to treat age-related muscular atrophy using regenerative medicine. Conventional methods to implant myoblasts, precursors to muscle ...

Fast-twitch fibers help with explosive movements like sprinting and weight lifting. Genetics and training influence the distribution of fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers. Doing strength ...

All runners, according to a popular school of training thought, can be divided into two categories: slow-twitch and fast-twitch. Physiologically, this idea rests on pretty shaky ground. The old view ...
