Tissue samples sent to the International Space Station reveal what can happen to astronauts on long-term missions.

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.

Inside every muscle cell, there’s a clock. Not the kind that ticks on your wall or buzzes on your wrist, but a natural timekeeping system that helps your body stay in rhythm. This clock controls when ...

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

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

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 ...

As food is digested and nutrients are absorbed, there is a lot of movement in the gut. Scientists have now shown that a ...

In contrast, when younger experimental mice received immune cells from older mice, their muscles became weaker, suggesting that the old immune cells were somewhat dysfunctional, Drummond says.

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 ...
