In her new book, “On Muscle,” Bonnie Tsui investigates the other stuff our thews remember—like how to grow when you exercise.

New mechanisms discovered that show how development-dependent disruptions in mitochondrial function lead to premature skeletal aging.

This mRNA carries the instruction code that tells our cells how to do everything they ... to make the protein necessary for ...

Human skeletal muscle possesses both reversible proteomic signatures and a retained proteomic memory after repeated resistance training. The Journal of Physiology , 2025; DOI: 10.1113/JP288104 ...

Nowadays, the prevalence of sedentary lifestyles and high-caloric diets leads to an imbalance between energy intake and spending. Hence, in the last decades, researchers have observed a significant ...

These vigorously oxidizing molecules are toxic, but local muscle cells can handle them. Yet even though plenty of tumor cells reach the skeletal muscle via the blood that copiously feeds it ...

Discovered that microtubules are critical for the movement and positioning of nuclei in the multinucleated skeletal muscle cell. Developed Drosophila models of muscle wasting in cancer cachexia and ...

It's no coincidence that our bodies feel a little creakier as we age. The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age too, and some change in ways that weaken the very structure of our bones.

When a medical examiner needs help identifying a deceased person and determining how that person died, they turn to forensic anthropologists.
