If you want big muscles without working out, there#39;s hope. Scientists report a family of protein transcription factors, called quot;Forkhead (Fox0),quot; that plays a significant role in the regulation of skeletal muscle mass. Interfering with Fox0 prevented muscle wasting associated with cancer and sepsis, and even promoted muscle growth. This is likely relevant to any disease, condition or lifestyle ...

In the absence of the protein biglycan, synapses at neuromuscular junctions in mice began to break up about five weeks after birth, according to a new study. Reintroducing byglycan helped fix the loss of synaptic stability in cell culture. The research may be relevant to efforts to treat motor neuron diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, Lou Gherig#39;s Disease) and spinal muscular ...

WEDNESDAY, Jan. 11 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers have identified a protein in muscle cells that triggers some of the health benefits of exercise in mice.

Scientists have stumbled upon a drug that may prevent heat stroke for people prone to the deadly condition. Ironically, it's the same drug flaunted three years ago as the couch potato pill for its ability to build muscle and increase endurance in mice that never break a sweat.
