Researchers successfully reversed muscle aging in old mice by removing stem cells, rejuvenating them, and putting them back. The breakthrough could one day help elderly people regain muscle strength and heal faster from injuries.
Researchers at UC Irvine discovered how muscle stem cells pause and redirect energy to repair damage before rebuilding, a breakthrough that could help combat muscle loss from aging, injury, and weight-loss drugs. The finding reveals a precise metabolic timing mechanism that might be influenced to speed recovery.
New research challenges concerns that popular GLP-1 medications like Wegovy and Zepbound cause excessive muscle loss. The findings offer reassurance to millions considering or using these breakthrough weight-loss treatments.
Researchers at Oregon State University developed a new therapy that fights lung cancer tumors while preventing deadly muscle wasting in a single treatment. Early results in mice show the approach works 2.5 times better than standard treatments without harmful side effects.
Researchers discovered why muscles weaken with age and confirmed that exercise literally rewinds the process at a molecular level. The breakthrough could help millions maintain independence longer and aid those unable to exercise.
Researchers discovered why millions quit life-saving cholesterol drugs due to muscle pain. The breakthrough could lead to safer statins that protect hearts without hurting muscles.
Leading autism researchers and advocates formed a new independent committee to guide autism research priorities and counter recent federal changes. The group aims to unite the autism community and protect evidence-based research as funding reaches $568 million annually.
Scientists have developed a diabetes pill that increases fat burning through muscle metabolism rather than suppressing appetite, avoiding common side effects like muscle loss. The tablet-based treatment showed promising results in early trials with 73 participants.
A Yale scientist is discovering why some patients with myasthenia gravis don't improve with standard treatments, opening doors to personalized therapies. Her groundbreaking work could help doctors match the right medicine to each patient's unique disease pattern.
A scientist who revolutionized protein research is now tackling science's reproducibility crisis with AI. His new approach could help researchers separate reliable studies from questionable ones, speeding up cures for diseases like Alzheimer's.
Scientists now have access to an AI tool that filters through 150 years of research data to deliver trustworthy answers in seconds. CAS Newton helps researchers move from question to verified answer without drowning in information overload.
When US funding cuts threatened to collapse decades of life-saving health research in South Africa, the country fought back with a $32 million rescue package. Now 59 critical HIV and tuberculosis research projects are moving forward.
South Korea is creating a new research movement to produce globally recognized scientists like Jane Goodall by focusing on uniquely Korean topics. The K-Science initiative aims to blend the nation's culture, history, and environment with cutting-edge research.
New research shows women can gain strength throughout their entire menstrual cycle, challenging popular "cycle syncing" advice. While small adjustments can help comfort, hormones don't block muscle growth at any point in the month. ##
Jennifer Ferris transformed a "Wild Wild West" research environment into a thriving 17-person operation, earning the first university-wide staff award ever given to UT Health Sciences' Knoxville campus. Her journey from solo clinical trial coordinator to award-winning director shows how one person's vision can reshape an entire research community.
A University of Nevada scientist has discovered a promising drug that could help protect muscles in patients with deadly Duchenne muscular dystrophy. After 20 years of research, Dean Burkin's team is preparing to test their breakthrough therapy in human trials.
Cornell researchers discovered vitamin B12 plays a far bigger role in human health than previously known, protecting muscle strength and energy production as we age. Early intervention could help millions of older adults maintain vitality and independence.
Nigeria's medical research institute has unveiled a biobank containing over 400,000 biological samples that could revolutionize how the country understands and treats diseases. The massive collection offers locally generated data that researchers say will lead to better health outcomes for millions of Africans.
After federal research funding collapsed and thousands of scientists lost their jobs, a new model of community-driven science is taking root across America. From state-funded research bonds to mobile MRI scanners in rural towns, researchers are discovering that science doesn't need ivory towers to thrive.
Scientists discovered a friendly gut microbe that made mice 30% stronger and built bigger muscles. The bacterium, already found in humans, could one day help people stay strong as they age.
