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.” ...

Metabolic health is maintained through the complex interplay between key tissues, including adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and the liver. Adipose tissue ...

With age, mitochondrial health and function become altered in muscle, but the role of ATF5 in regulating these processes has not yet been ...

A. Fluorescent immunostaining of PDGFRα, showing mesenchymal progenitors, laminin surrounding skeletal muscle, and AR. Arrows indicate mesenchymal progenitors expressing AR, arrowheads indicate ...

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 decline in metabolism and endurance of skeletal muscle is commonly observed in obese patients, but the underlying mechanism is not well-understood. A research team led by Dr Chi Bun CHAN, Assistant ...

- Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, are specialized cells designed for contraction and force production. Skeletal Muscle Cells: These cells are long, cylindrical, and have a striated (or striped) ...

Girish Melkani, Ph.D., recently promoted to professor in the Department of Pathology, has been named the latest recipient of the school’s Featured Discovery award. This recognition celebrates notable ...
