Split hand syndrome is a potential sign of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This means that some of the muscles in the hand are weak and thin (atrophied), while others are less affected.

Muscle atrophy is a prevalent condition in today's societies, but many of the roles that mitochondria play in the process remain unclear. In a recent study, researchers investigated how muscle atrophy ...

The loss of muscle mass, or muscle atrophy, is a relatively common condition in today's aging and increasingly sedentary societies. While the disuse of muscles is the most frequent catalyst for muscle ...

Bioengineers have developed a mechanically active adhesive named MAGENTA, which functions as a soft robotic device able to extend and contract muscles from the outside. In an animal model, MAGENTA ...

When a limb is rendered immobile for long periods of time, its muscles will inevitably begin to atrophy. A new implant could help keep that from happening, however, by mechanically stretching and ...

RICHMOND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BioAge Labs, Inc. (“BioAge”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing therapeutics that target the molecular causes of aging to extend healthy human ...

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 ...

Skeletal muscle atrophy, or wasting, is a devastating and often irreversible syndrome during the aging process and for patients with advanced cancer. Muscle wasting involves a decrease in muscle mass ...
