Muscle loss during chronic disease is a life-threatening condition for which there is no effective treatment. The identification of an underlying molecular mechanism might offer new therapeutic targets. Laura Antonio-Herrera is at the Institute of Hygiene ...
Fragmentation and elongation of mitochondria lead to the activation of inflammatory processes in muscle cells, which result in the development of muscle atrophy, and a diminished resistance to exercise. The work undertaken by the IRB Barcelona Complex ...
More than 30 types of muscular dystrophy have been identified. They all cause problems with movement due to muscle protein defects caused by genetic mutations. Muscular dystrophy is a group of inherited genetic conditions that cause progressive muscle ...
A University of North Florida biology professor has been awarded a prestigious four-year National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant totaling over $720K to study the functional role of an enzyme called dual-specificity phosphatase 4 (Dusp4) in skeletal ...
