Factors like nutrition and muscle strength and size are all involved when it comes to your running speed, and your genetics ...

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 ...

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 ...

Three patients with spinal muscular atrophy had improved muscle strength and could walk farther after a month of daily spinal ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

For each of the three domains (genetic, metabolic and neuromuscular), the results of the major systematic reviews and original research published in relevant journals, indexed in PubMed, were selected ...
