Researchers discover muscle disorder caused by key protein mutations
Updated : 1 year, 9 months ago IST
A new study discovered that the SMCHD1 protein controls how genes are digested, which influences the course of Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD). This finding about SMCHD1's role in gene regulation is significant because it opens new avenues for creating tailored therapeutic tech

Study suggests new approach for evaluating muscle coordination, fatigue
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a conventional technique for measuring muscle electrical activity during exercise. This strategy has been used for over 70 years and consists of two conventional procedures. The first uses a pair of electrodes (metals that transmit electricity through non-m

Researchers discover ceramides role in aging muscle health
Updated : 2 years, 4 months ago IST
Mice experience inactivity, muscle loss, and strength loss as they age, just like humans do. The ceramide content of mice's muscles increases as they age, according to a group of researchers at EPFL lead by Johan Auwerx.
