BOSTON - New research finds that a compound in coffee could help you stay strong as you age. As we get older, we tend to lose muscle mass and strength putting us at higher risk for mobility problems, ...

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 ...

Researchers successfully developed and validated a new outcome measure to monitor disease severity and progression in patients with impaired skeletal muscle function caused by mitochondrial disease.

Measurement of the phase angle (PhA) from bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) can be explored as a quick and non-invasive method to measure muscle activity and strength, especially useful in people ...

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 ...

You probably already know that it's important to build and maintain muscle, but there may be additional benefits beyond just physical health. New studies show a correlation between muscle and ...
