In a serendipitous discovery, UC San Diego researchers using cryo-EM technology captured the first visualizations of the 3-D structure of the muscle acetylcholine receptor in fetal and adult muscles.

We all learned in high school biology that mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell. But powering up those cellular engines requires a molecular spark. Now, scientists at the Salk Institute have ...

A new Salk Institute study suggests estrogen-related receptors could be a key to repairing energy metabolism and muscle fatigue. Across the body, tiny bean-shaped structures called mitochondria turn ...

Statins are a cornerstone of heart health, but muscle pain and weakness cause many patients to quit taking them. Scientists have now identified the precise molecular trigger behind these side effects.

New studies show that pharmacological treatment with GLP-1-RA and dual GLP-1/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor agonists (GIP-RA) cause almost as much weight loss as gastric surgery ...

A new discovery may explain why so many people abandon cholesterol-lowering statins because of muscle pain and weakness. Researchers found that certain statins can latch onto a key muscle protein and ...
