During hibernation, brown bears spend up to six months lying almost completely still, without eating, drinking or exercising.

A UCLA study in mice reveals that aging muscle stem cells accumulate a protein that slows repair but boosts survival. This ...

A research team from Xi'an Jiaotong University has developed a new method for bioprinting skeletal muscle tissue.

Researchers identified a molecular pathway that can limit muscle repair, a finding that may guide future muscular dystrophy treatments.

Since at least 2016, diplomats, spies and military officers have suffered from unexplained brain injuries likely caused by a ...

After a heart attack, the heart struggles to recoup and maintain energy. One-third of patients develop heart failure as a ...
