Along with her doctoral candidate, Joanna Hoh, Semrau suggests clinicians can uncover sensory deficits without requiring ...

In findings recently published in Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair, Semrau and doctoral candidate Joanna Hoh suggest ...

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 ...

Researchers have found a way to reverse some signs of aging in mice. By triggering receptors on a fast-burning form of fat, the team was able to give older animals less fat and more muscle, making ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 111, No. 49 (December 9, 2014), pp. 17660-17665 (6 pages) A muscle acetylcholine receptor (AChR) has two ...

Using powerful new visualization technologies, researchers have captured the first 3-D images of the structure of a key muscle receptor, providing new insights on how muscles develop across the animal ...

A gene known as ACTN3 has earned the nickname "the gene for speed" and it may have an influence on how androgens... | ...

Muscle activity alters the expression of functionally distinct nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) via regulation of subunit gene expression. Denervation increases the expression of all subunit ...

IN recent experiments 1 it was found that the tonic stretch reflex is lacking in the distal muscles of the limbs of the newly born kitten. Evidence was also presented that the gradual appearance of ...
