Protein has become the darling of the grocery aisle, yet with the average intake sitting around 81g daily, at least 20% above general recommendations, the surplus is more likely to widen waistlines than build muscle.

Application of a high-precision technique to treat a genetic disease that can cause liver and nerve damage. by directly editing the DNA in a person’s body.

Bone and muscle tissues are highly responsive and adaptive to their mechanical loading environment, but more research is needed to understand how and why the pronounced bone and muscle mass loss in astronauts occurs in response to microgravity.

Hikers showed reduced body fat, increased muscle mass, higher aerobic capacity, improved mood, and reduced stress levels. They also showed a reduction in inflammation and an increase in the immune-boosting protein interleukin-12 (IL-12).

A two-way relationship between sleep and growth hormone reveals how the brain carefully balances physical recovery with wakefulness. This could help explain why poor sleep harms metabolism and brain health, potentially leading to new treatments for sleep and neurological disorders.

This isn’t a future warning; it’s a diagnosis of the present — the climate emergency is already here. Earth faces “rapid destabilization” as a result of climate change, an international group of scientists find in the latest edition of an annual checkup of the planet’s “vital signs.”

If you take a break from the gym you may lose muscle and gain fat, but it isn’t as simple as one turning into the other. The reality is that there’s no biochemistry linking the two types of tissues — muscle and fat are distinctly different.

While their nutritional labels might have been the same, the metabolic responses they triggered turned out to be very different — especially the insulin response, which was much higher with ultra-processed foods.

Scientists have pinpointed 287 unique gene variants in Jonathan responsible for reducing the usual effects of aging. These variants control some of the body’s key processing, including repairing damaged DNA, reducing inflammation, regulating insulin, and even suppressing cancer.

What if the story of The Great Flood and Noah’s Ark is not a myth, but real, and science can prove the 157-meter-long (515 feet) boat-shaped formation in eastern Turkey near Mount Ararat is the Ark’s final resting place? How will it change history?

Researchers have uncovered a molecular “switch” that helps explain why exercise keeps aging muscles healthy. By reducing levels of a gene called DEAF1, physical activity allows older muscles to clear out damage, repair themselves, and maintain strength.

While some applications still require systematic clinical validation, quantitative MRI is now established as a comprehensive technique, that can be used to characterize a wide variety of structural and compositional changes in healthy and diseased skeletal muscle.
