A. Fluorescent immunostaining of PDGFRα, showing mesenchymal progenitors, laminin surrounding skeletal muscle, and AR. Arrows indicate mesenchymal progenitors expressing AR, arrowheads indicate ...

The results of studies in mice suggest that vitamin D deficiency may impair muscle mitochondrial function, impacting on energy production in muscle cells and so potentially affecting muscle ...

Proteins are essential for body growth and muscle building. However, protein metabolism varies depending on the body’s internal biological clock. Therefore, it is important to know how distribution of ...

A decline in metabolism and endurance of skeletal muscle is commonly observed in obese patients, but the underlying mechanism is not well-understood. A research team led by Dr Chi Bun CHAN, Assistant ...

Tissue-resident macrophages can originate from embryonic or adult hematopoiesis. They play important roles in a wide range of biological processes including tissue remodeling during organogenesis, ...

A new study suggests that a gene variant affecting skeletal muscle function may have protected humans against lower temperatures as they migrated from Africa to Europe more than 50,000 years ago. A ...

Muscle-derived branched-chain amino acids support thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue, thereby helping maintain body temperature during impaired muscle function or physiological stress.

A researcher at the University of Houston finds management of diabetic ketoacidosis may center around reducing ketone levels ...
