Scientists have identified a compound that may help preserve muscle in aging mice. Someday, this may help people with muscle ...

Exercise helps restore natural repair systems in muscle cells that become out of balance with age, according to new research from Singapore. Atrophy and loss of individual muscle fibers increase with ...

A sulfur-based compound called LASSS appears to protect and supercharge a key protein involved in repairing damaged muscle.

As we age, our muscles atrophy. Earlier this year, researchers found that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a protein critical in skeletal muscle development loses its functionality due to nitration as ...

A new study shows that lipoic acid trisulfide (LASSS) protects hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) from age-related nitration.

We all age. And while humanity's life expectancy has increased dramatically in the modern era, we still struggle with the inevitable health issues our bodies face as we get up in the years. For ...

Two related studies published today in Nature Metabolism show that a specialized intracellular recycling mechanism—chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA)—is essential for muscle health. The research, ...

As people age, muscles naturally lose mass and strength, a condition known as sarcopenia. The decline can make everyday activities harder and increases the risk of falls, disability, and early death.

With the intensification of global population aging, muscle atrophy, characterized by the loss of muscle mass and function, has become an important health issue affecting the elderly. Researchers have ...
