For decades, researchers studying myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) have focused on the disease's underlying genetic cause: a ...

People who take statins to lower cholesterol are unlikely to develop serious muscular disorders, a new study found. Many ...

In a finding that opens the door to the development of targeted therapies for various muscle disorders, newly published research identifies key mechanisms of skeletal muscle regeneration and growth of ...

Scientists created a tool to help doctors predict a patient’s risk of severe muscle problems from taking a statin.

Recent research from the University of Houston College of Pharmacy identifies key mechanisms of skeletal muscle regeneration and growth of muscles following resistance exercise. It's a finding that ...

A large cohort study found that statins significantly reduce the risk of death and major cardiovascular events in adults with type 2 diabetes, even among those with low predicted 10‐year ...

New research from Oxford offers reassurance regarding statin use. While muscle aches are common, severe muscle damage linked to these cholesterol-lowering drugs is exceptionally rare, affecting less ...

Skeletal muscles-responsible for movement, joint stabilization, and postural support-are highly metabolically active and ...

Skeletal muscle relies on tightly regulated iron metabolism to support oxygen transport, mitochondrial respiration and the synthesis of iron-containing enzymes. Iron is stored within ferritin ...

Scientists at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute in Australia are calling for greater awareness of a fat deposit located in skeletal muscles. A new study explores how an accumulation of this ...
