After a month in orbit, the mice splashed down off the California coast and were rushed to a lab in San Diego. Normal mice that did not get the drug lost more than 10% of their muscle mass.

A common molecule found in the body could be targeted to turn aged muscle cells to become young again, helping prevent ...

The new agent is a version of a cellular docking point for the muscle-limiting protein myostatin. In mice, just two weekly injections of the new agent triggered a 60 percent increase in muscle ...

In a nutshell Exercise releases a protein called CLCF1 that acts like an anti-aging molecule for muscles and bones CLCF1 levels naturally decline with age, but resistance training and high-intensity ...

Boosting Klotho protein levels in mice improves physical and cognitive aging, offering potential for future longevity ...

The team is going beyond simply mimicking muscles here, however. Researchers at the school are using live muscle tissue in tandem with synthetic robot parts for a classification of robots known as ...

Genetically enhanced “mighty mice” that were part of a heath experiment on the International Space Station have shown that blocking a molecular signaling pathway can protect against muscle and ...

SpaceX launches Dragon cargo ship to space station 10:48. Bulked-up, mutant "mighty mice" held onto their muscle during a monthlong stay at the International Space Station, returning to Earth with ...

Mildly stressing muscle metabolism boosts levels of a beneficial hormone that prevents obesity and diabetes in mice, according to a new study. The findings show that triggering ER stress in mouse ...

Using mice for the study, the researchers found that heart muscle also decreased in both obese and lean mice. The systemic ...

Mice sent to the International Space Station returned with more muscle than they had when they arrived thanks to a new treatment. Muscle loss in space affects humans as well as mice, and this new ...
