However, Judex noted, “It must be viewed as a first step simply because this is a mouse study and not a human study.” In a previous animal study, scientists searched for the genetic culprits behind ...

Discover why some people build muscle faster than others and learn science-backed strategies to optimize your muscle growth and strength training results. Giselle Castro-Sloboda Fitness and Nutrition ...

Sarcomeric myosin heavy chain proteins are the molecular motors responsible for muscle contraction. Mutations in these proteins perturb their interactions with other proteins and their function, which ...

Discover how genetics affect metabolism, muscle growth, and fitness potential—but training still plays a key role.

Stem cell biology; regeneration; skeletal muscle regeneration and aging; skeletal muscle stem cells and gene therapy; growth factors and signal transduction; mouse molecular genetics; muscular ...

Muscular dystrophies are debilitating genetic diseases characterised by progressive weakness and wasting of skeletal muscle, which is responsible for voluntary movements and breathing. Gene mutations ...

The study revealed that individuals with a genetic predisposition for higher muscle strength have a slightly lower risk for ...

Potent in vivo gene editing in skeletal muscle of non-human primates by a novel, ultracompact CRISPR system delivered via a single AAV vector.

As genetics allows us to turn the tide on human disease, it's also granting the power to engineer desirable traits into humans. What limits should we create as this technology develops?

Dyne Therapeutics started the new year with proof-of-concept clinical data for experimental genetic medicines addressing two rare muscle diseases—one of which has no FDA-approved treatments.
