Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...

A research team led by Biological Sciences Asst. Prof. Nicolai Konow will work across disciplines to develop a deeper understanding of how muscles function. “Everything has to be broken down to its ...

In a decades-long effort, researchers have discovered how to tweak the molecular pathways that turn heart muscle motors up or down ...

Infections and neurodegenerative diseases cause inflammation in the brain. But for unknown reasons, patients with brain inflammation often develop muscle problems that seem to be independent of the ...

That’s not a vanity statement for those who want to look good or a performance issue for those who want to be better, stronger, and faster. It’s a medical issue and has been for a long time. And if ...

Still dealing with a tight hip or weak glute—despite all the foam rolling, stretching, and strengthening? Or, maybe you’ve had an injury that keeps flaring up, even though you thought it was finally ...

Study uncovers a polyphenol's mechanism in enhancing mitochondrial calcium uptake and muscle bioenergetics during aging. Study: Mitochondrial calcium uptake declines during aging and is directly ...

A small molecule previously shown to enhance strength in injured or old laboratory mice does so by restoring lost connections between nerves and muscle fibers, Stanford Medicine researchers have found ...

Scientists traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord to control motor function. Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle ...
