Atherosclerosis underlies most heart attacks and strokes and is now recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease rather than ...

Infectious or chronic diseases such as long COVID, Alzheimer’s disease and traumatic brain injury can cause inflammation in the brain, or neuroinflammation, that weakens muscles. While scientists are ...

Over time, this muscular "self-defense mechanism" may help people preserve muscle mass and stave off some of the most common, deadly diseases plaguing modern humans. "We found that exercising muscle ...

Scientists in the department of biomedical engineering at Duke University have revealed that exercising human muscles has an intrinsic ability to heal painful inflammation. The study focused on ...

A new study has suggested that treatment to target necroptosis in muscle fibers using a necroptosis inhibitor lessens myositis-induced muscle weakness as well as muscle cell death and inflammation in ...

A preclinical study led by the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP), in collaboration with the Institut de Myologie and the Sant Pau Research Institute, has analyzed the role of the protein ...

Research reveals how brain inflammation triggers extreme muscle weakness across several diseases, including viral infection, bacterial infection and Alzheimer's disease. The study, in fruit flies and ...

Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) is an emerging pathogen that has gained global attention for its role in precipitating muscle inflammation in salmon. Infection by PRV is associated with significant tissue ...

Biomedical engineers have demonstrated that human muscle has an innate ability to ward off damaging effects of chronic inflammation when exercised. The discovery was made possible through the use of ...
