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 ...
Using powerful new visualization technologies, researchers have captured the first 3-D images of the structure of a key muscle receptor, providing new insights on how muscles develop across the animal ...
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 ...
March 31, 2022 – Resistance or strength training protects against the development of muscle pain in mice – and does so by activating androgen receptors, reports a basic science study in PAIN®, the ...
The connections between the nervous system and muscles develop differently across the kingdom of life. It takes newborn humans roughly a year to develop the proper muscular systems that support the ...
For years, people taking one of the world’s most common heart drugs have described the same nagging side effect: sore, aching muscles that can be bad enough to make them stop treatment. Now ...
In a serendipitous discovery, UC San Diego researchers using cryo-EM technology captured the first visualizations of the 3-D structure of the muscle acetylcholine receptor in fetal and adult muscles.
