Skeletal muscle is joined to bones. Its cells contract to make bones move and joints bend. Skeletal muscles always come in pairs, just like trainers. But there is a little bit more to it than that.

Patients with degenerative diseases that attack skeletal muscle tissues, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, may soon benefit from novel stem cell therapies. A study has demonstrated how new ...

Estrogen-related receptors (ERRs) regulate muscle mitochondria in mice, revealing a new potential drug targets for metabolic ...

A new study led by researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) suggests that currently available therapies may help control chronic muscle inflammation in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a ...

Research in the Leinwand lab focuses on unraveling mechanisms of genetic heart and skeletal muscle diseases using animal models, cell-culture systems and biophysical approaches. In addition to ...
