Scientists have performed the most in-depth analysis of fast and slow twitch muscle fibers and the different ways they respond to exercise. Their novel approach uses large scale protein analysis of ...

For example, the researchers observed that the regenerating muscle contained more active genes responsible for triggering muscle growth. "What really astonished us, however, was the fact that, in both ...

Most cells typically have one nucleus that holds its genomic DNA. Muscle fibers, however, are large, individual cells that contain many nuclei. Reporting in Nature Communications, scientists have used ...

A muscle fiber consists of just one cell, but many nuclei. A team has now shown just how varied these nuclei are. The study can help us better understand muscle diseases such as Duchenne muscular ...

If you're looking to gain muscle mass, a quick web search will tell you to "bulk" on a high-calorie, high-protein diet, progressively challenge yourself with heavier weights and rest in between ...

There are a bunch of different reasons that serious endurance athletes generally don’t have big pipes. The most obvious one is that they spend a lot of time running and pedaling and so on, and very ...

A research team led by Prof. CHEN Yan and Prof. YANG Lifeng from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed a physiological function of ...

The fiber boom is coming.

A muscle fiber consists of just one cell, but many nuclei. A team at the MDC led by Professor Carmen Birchmeier has now shown just how varied these nuclei are. The study, which has been published in ...
