Researchers suggest Musashi-2 controls skeletal muscle composition
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
Now, a team led by Assistant Professor Yasuro Furuichi from Tokyo Metropolitan University have emerged with a key part of the puzzle. In previous work, they found that Musashi-2 (Msi2), a protein originally discovered in nerve cells, was also expressed in skeletal muscle tissue.

Research discovers new cause of heart failure condition in children
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) have uncovered novel gene mutations responsible for a rare illness that causes heart failure in youngsters. They were subsequently able to discover how the mutation works and apply medication to counteract its effects in ca

Researchers discover new potential target for treating vascular disease
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
Vascular disorders, which include myocardial infarction, stroke, renal failure, and peripheral vascular disease, continue to account for one-third of all deaths in the United States, Europe, and developing countries (World Health Organisation, 2021). The activation of vascular smooth muscle

Researchers suggest way of mapping distribution of carnitine in skeletal m
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have devised a method for mapping the distribution of carnitine in skeletal muscle cells. Carnitine is a tiny molecule that aids in the transfer of fatty acids and the reduction of metabolic waste. They discovered that slow-type muscle fibres he

Secreted protein that helps in growing muscles discovered by researchers
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
According to research from Tokyo Metropolitan University, a protein known as platelet-derived growth factor subunit B (PDGF-B), which is continually released from skeletal muscle cells, has been found to aid in muscle repair by promoting the formation of myoblasts, or muscle stem cells.

New discovery of 'powerful clinical strategy' for treating heart disease
Updated : 3 years, 9 months ago IST
Washington [US], June 20 (ANI): Researchers at the University of Houston revealed a new technology that not only repairs heart muscle cells in mice but also regenerates them following a heart attack, or myocardial infarction as it's medically known.
