Every cell in the body has the same DNA, but different cell types—such as muscle or brain cells—use different parts of it. Transcription factors help cells activate specific genes by reading certain ...

Researchers have uncovered a molecular “switch” that helps explain why exercise keeps ageing muscles healthy. By reducing ...

Our biceps and our brain cells may have more in common than previously thought. New research led by the Lippincott-Schwartz Lab shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those ...

Unveiling a cellular mechanism by which muscle stem cells repair damage, researchers spark hope for remedying muscle loss caused by injury, aging and weight-loss medications. A team of scientists from ...

Before Adam Sharples became a molecular physiologist studying muscle memory, he played professional rugby. Over his years as an athlete, he noticed that he and his teammates seemed to return to form ...
