A team of Vanderbilt researchers has developed a wirelessly activated device that mimics the wavelike muscular function in the esophagus and small intestine responsible for transporting food and ...

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is an established modality employed to elicit muscle contractions via electrical impulses, supporting rehabilitation and strength improvement across a wide ...

A team of researchers has developed a wirelessly activated device that mimics the wavelike muscular function in the esophagus and small intestine responsible for transporting food and viscous fluids ...

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 ...

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 ...

This study reveals abnormal iron accumulation in the muscles of patients with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) and in mice expressing muscle-specific DUX4 (DUX4-Tg mice). Contrary to ...

A new research paper was published in Volume 18 of Aging-US on March 27, 2026, titled “ATF5 is required for the maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis and skeletal muscle health during aging.” ...

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 ...

PBGENE-DMD aims to deliver sustained muscle function improvement for DMD patients with mutations between exons 45 and 55.

Melkani’s lab study, titled "Time-restricted feeding promotes muscle function through purine cycle and AMPK signaling in Drosophila obesity models,” was recently published in Nature Communications.

Spinal muscular atrophy and muscular dystrophy both affect muscle size and function, causing weakness and leading to health complications like difficulty walking, swallowing, and, for some people, ...
