Biological researchers report the identity of a previously elusive subunit of a neurotransmitter in C. elegans. The finding may have applicability to research on the human nervous system. Researchers ...

Zinc and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) seem to be associated with major depression, and some antidepressants, including fluoxetine (Prozac), antagonize nAChRs. Therefore, a study was made ...

Although FGF signaling promotes myoblast proliferation and represses myogenic differentiation, one of the FGF receptors (FGFR), FGFR4, is expressed mainly in mature skeletal muscle. Disruption of ...

Increased proliferation of bronchial smooth-muscle cells may lead to increased muscle mass in the airways of patients with asthma. The antiproliferative effect of glucocorticoids in bronchial ...

We all learned in high school biology that mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell. But powering up those cellular engines requires a molecular spark. Now, scientists at the Salk Institute have ...

A new Salk Institute study suggests estrogen-related receptors could be a key to repairing energy metabolism and muscle fatigue. Across the body, tiny bean-shaped structures called mitochondria turn ...

Adrenaline, the hormone that prepares our body to fight or flight, acts on a hyperdynamic receptor. This molecule switches so fast between several positions, that it was impossible to image it. Until ...

HBC has today released a whitepaper demonstrating how its bioactive peptide ingredient ProGo® uniquely provides complete GLP-1 support. To maximize the effect of GLP-1 therapy, lean muscle mass needs ...

Interim results from the CAReS trial highlight ART27.13's potential to combat cancer-related weight loss, offering hope for ...

Dear Dr. Donohue: My aunt died about 20 years ago. I have been told the cause of her death was myasthenia gravis. Will you please answer some questions about it? What are the early symptoms? How is it ...
