So where does working out come into this? Well, exercise can actually reverse this process to enable efficient muscle repair – as long as the system's cellular puzzle pieces remain responsive.

A team has discovered a possible therapeutic approach to repair injured muscles either from aging or degenerative muscle disorders. For millions of people, losing muscle isn't just about weakness; ...

A new study reveals a unique form of cell communication that controls muscle repair. A new study published in the journal Science reveals a unique form of cell communication that controls muscle ...

In a recent review published in the journal Cell Metabolism, researchers elucidated mechanisms and evaluated therapies for impaired skeletal muscle regeneration in diabetes, identifying research gaps ...

A new study reports naturally occurring hyaluronic acid is critical in directing muscle stem cells to re-enter the cell cycle and repair damaged muscle. A team of researchers from the Ottawa Hospital ...

University of California, Irvine researchers have identified a gene expressed during regeneration that is critical for muscle repair. The key human skeletal muscle gene was also found in a subset of ...

Skeletal muscle is the type of muscle that controls movement. Problems with these muscles can be minor, life-threatening, or ongoing problems that make it hard to perform basic daily activities.

Muscle soreness after a workout is often seen as a warning sign to stop moving, but modern fitness science suggests the opposite. Light to moderate exercise performed while muscles are still sore can ...

A new study published in the journal Science reveals a unique form of cell communication that controls muscle repair. In damaged muscle, stem cells must work together with immune cells to complete the ...
