As we get older, it’s common to lose muscle — a process called sarcopenia that starts as early as age 30 and tends to accelerate over time. This gradual drop in muscle mass and strength can affect ...

A new study identifies sex-specific circuits of muscle signaling to other tissues and that the organs and processes muscle impacts are markedly different between males and females. This new discovery ...

New research has identified the enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase 1 (GLUD1) as a new therapeutic target for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). In preclinical DMD mouse models, investigators demonstrated ...

An HIV-derived nucleoside therapy now treats rare genetic diseases by restoring mitochondrial DNA and improving muscle ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine report that an experimental drug first developed to treat kidney disease prolongs survival and improves muscle function in mice genetically engineered to develop ...

Researchers report that an experimental drug first developed to treat kidney disease prolongs survival and improves muscle function in mice genetically engineered to develop a severe form of Duchenne ...

Interestingly, studies in various animal models have shown that time-restricted feeding — a natural non-pharmaceutical intervention — protects against obesity, aging and circadian disruption in ...

Doctors use physical therapy to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It can help maintain muscle function, boost quality of life, and prevent complications. A physical therapist will tailor your ...
