Grouping muscles to make controlling limbs easier
With more than 30 muscles in your arm, controlling movement -- whether it's grasping a glass or throwing a baseball -- is a complex task that potentially takes into account thousands of variables. view more (2009-04-21)
Mechanism for regulation of growth and differentiation of adult muscle stem cells is revealed
During muscle regeneration, which is a natural response to injury and disease, environmental cues cause adult muscle stem cells (satellite cells) to shift from dormancy to actively building new muscle tissue. view more (2007-12-10)
Office workers with neck pain are prescribed therapies that do not work
A new study in this week’s BMJ shows that two types of physiotherapy commonly prescribed to treat female office workers with neck pain do little to alleviate their pain. view more (2003-08-29)
Ethnic background may be associated with diabetes risk
Fat and muscle mass, as potentially determined by a person's ethnic background, may contribute to diabetes risk, according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). view more (2009-10-06)
Don't move a muscle: Evolutionary insight into myogenesis
In a paper released online ahead of its scheduled December 15th publication date, Dr. Michael Krause (NIH) and colleagues detail the transcription network that drives muscle development in the roundworm C. elegans, and make a strong argument for an evolutionarily conserved program of myogenesis in all animals. view more (2006-12-07)
Human muscle-derived stem cells effective in animal models of incontinence
Human muscle-derived cells, pluripotent stem cells found in muscle, have been used to cure stress urinary incontinence in animal models, a finding which signals that these cells are prime candidates to treat the condition in adults. view more (2005-09-01)
Cherry juice reduces muscle pain induced by exercise
Cherry juice can reduce muscle pain and damage induced by exercise, suggests a small study published ahead of print in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. view more (2006-06-21)
Experts Solve Christmas Turkey Teaser
Experts from the University of Sheffield have identified the genetic switch that helps explain which parts of the Christmas turkey are white meat and which are dark. Professor Philip Ingham and his colleagues have worked on fish muscle cells to find a genetic switch that determines muscle fibre type in all vertebrates. The full paper will be... view more...

Dynamic sonography accurate in diagnosing muscle tears
Dynamic sonography is useful in the diagnosis, management and follow-up of muscle tears and hematomas, according to a recent study conducted by researchers from Khoula Hospital in Muscat, Oman. view more (2007-05-25)
Potential therapy for congenital muscular dystrophy
Current research suggests laminin, a protein that helps cells stick together, may lead to enhanced muscle repair in muscular dystrophy. view more (2008-12-30)
Ibuprofen or acetaminophen in long-term resistance training increases muscle mass/strength
Taking daily recommended dosages of ibuprofen and acetaminophen caused a substantially greater increase over placebo in the amount of quadriceps muscle mass and muscle strength gained during three months of regular weight lifting, in a study by physiologists at the Human Performance Laboratory, Ball State University. view more (2008-04-07)
Slow exercise (not fast) is better for menopausal women
It's an inevitable truth: as we get older, our muscles deteriorate and we become weaker. Not only can this be an immensely frustrating change, but it can also have many other, more serious implications. view more (2008-07-07)
More muscle for the argument to give up smoking
Researchers at The University of Nottingham have got more bad news for smokers. Not only does it cause cancer, heart attacks and strokes but smokers will also lose more muscle mass in old age than a non-smoker. view more (2007-07-10)
Autologous muscle-derived cells may treat stress urinary incontinence
Researchers have confirmed that transplanting autologous muscle-derived cells (AMDC) into the bladder is safe at a wide range of doses and significantly improves symptoms and quality of life in patients with stress urinary incontinence. view more (2009-04-27)
Heart derived stem cells develop into heart muscle
Dutch researchers at University Medical Center Utrecht and the Hubrecht Institute have succeeded in growing large numbers of stem cells from adult human hearts into new heart muscle cells. view more (2008-04-24)
Growth hormone treatment after weight loss surgery prevents loss of muscle mass
Growth hormone treatment for six months after weight loss surgery reduces patients' losses in lean body mass and skeletal muscle mass, according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). view more (2009-02-03)
Stretching does not prevent muscle soreness
Stretching before or after exercise does not prevent muscle soreness or reduce risk of injury, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers in Australia reviewed five studies, involving 77 subjects, on the effect of stretching on muscle soreness. In all studies, participants were healthy young adults. Three studies evaluated stretching after... view more... (2002-08-28)
Key finding in rare muscle disease
The finding is in the current issue of Annals of Neurology, a leading international neurology journal, in work led by Professor Nigel Laing and Dr Kristen Nowak of the Laboratory for Molecular Genetics at the Western Australian Institute for Medical Research (WAIMR) and done in collaboration with a number of European researchers. view more (2007-01-18)
Scientists in Japan design first optical pacemaker for laboratory research
The world's first optical pacemaker is described in an article published today in Optics Express, the Optical Society's open-access journal. A team of scientists at Osaka University in Japan show that powerful, but very short, laser pulses can help control the beating of heart muscle cells. view more (2008-05-28)
Purdue researchers find 'switch' for skeletal-muscle atrophy
Researchers in Purdue University's School of Veterinary Medicine have discovered genetic and drug-treatment methods to arrest the type of muscle atrophy often caused by muscle disuse, as well as aging and diseases such as cancer. view more (2006-05-25)
