Skeletal muscle channelopathies and myotonic disorders constitute a heterogeneous group of neuromuscular conditions caused by mutations that impair the function of ion channels, including sodium and ...

A new study has unveiled the crucial role of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) in skeletal development. Researchers have found that a deficiency of LRP1 in skeletal progenitor ...

An Ice Age double burial in Italy has yielded a stunning genetic revelation. DNA from a mother and daughter who lived over 12,000 years ago shows that the younger had a rare inherited growth disorder, ...

Glucose–lipid metabolic dysfunction, increasingly prevalent with the worldwide rise in obesity, type 2 diabetes, and aging, has emerged as a critical factor ...

UCI scientists have discovered a new treatment for the most common skeletal muscle disorder for people 50 and older, officials said. A new study shows that lithium chloride, normally used to treat ...

Bent bone dysplasia (BBD) is a perinatal-lethal skeletal disorder caused by pathogenic FGFR2 mutations that disrupt bone formation, leading to bent long bones, osteopenia, and craniosynostosis. Bent ...

Patients with schizophrenia experience osteoporosis at rates far exceeding the general population, yet clinicians have lacked genetic explanations for this apparent relationship. Researchers headed by ...

Osteoporosis‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ is a chronic skeletal disorder that, for the most part, goes unnoticed for many years until a fracture occurs due to a slight fall or a simple movement. Globally, life ...
