Scientists are exploring how animal models—hibernators, extremophiles, and small organisms—can help counteract the health ...

In adolescents and young adults, they could be connected to a body image disorder that exhibits a pathological focus on muscle development and leanness, according to new research. “The use of 6 ...

Have you ever worked out and watched your muscles grow before your eyes? While this is a fun, satisfying sight to behold, it's unfortunately temporary. Known as a muscle pump, this type of instant ...

A combination of methods, including a new method for tagging genes, demonstrates that the chemosensory co-receptors of Drosophila melanogaster (Orco, IR8a, IR25a, IR76b) are expressed widely and ...

BUILDING MUSCLE TAKES a plan. If you schlep to the gym four times a week, pick up a random pair of dumbbells, and do a few sets of random reps for a handful of exercises, your results aren’t ...

Cardiac muscle tissue, or myocardium, is a type of muscle tissue that forms the heart. It contracts and releases involuntarily and keeps the heart pumping blood around the body. The human body ...

A pulled muscle—medically known as a strain—occurs when muscle fibers are stretched too far and sometimes tear. While mild muscle strains can show improvement in as little as three days, severely ...

Muscle is a soft tissue composed of elongated cells (muscle fibres) that produce force and motion through contraction. Involuntary cardiac and smooth muscles are responsible for contraction of the ...

Certain fruits, though low in protein, can significantly aid muscle growth and repair thanks to their rich content of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. Muscle-building isn’t just about protein ...

are segmented from FIB-SEM datasets of a Drosophila melanogaster MBON1 neuron. Our biceps and our brain cells may have more in common than previously thought. New research led by the ...

This study by Bell et al. focuses on understanding the roles of two alternatively spliced exons in the single Drosophila Cav2 gene cac. The authors generate a series of cac alleles in which one or the ...
