Transcriptomic datasets from space-flown mice from GeneLab were extensively mined to extract the key genes that cause muscle atrophy in organ muscle tissues such as the thymus, liver, and spleen. Top ...

HOUSTON – A newly identified gene, atrogin-1, is involved in muscle loss associated with cancer, diabetes, fasting and kidney disease as well as in the atrophy occurring with disuse, inactivity, and ...

The loss of muscle mass, or muscle atrophy, is a relatively common condition in today’s aging and increasingly sedentary societies. While the disuse of muscles is the most frequent catalyst for muscle ...

Muscles, particularly skeletal muscles, play an essential role in the motor function and homeostasis of the whole body. The muscle mass enlarges and shrinks depending on environmental factors, such as ...
