Chronic inflammation can be affected by muscle exercise

Long, thin, well-defined muscle fibers (top left) are in shambles after prolonged inflammation (top right),

Stronger muscles in old age with stem cells?

As we grow older, our muscular function declines. A new study by researchers at Karolinska

Researchers see promising results in treating age-related decline in muscle mass and power

A proof-of-concept, phase 2 trial by an international research team has found promising results for a myostatin

The healthy muscle tissue on the left is from a young mouse. The ability of muscle to repair itself decreases with age, as evidenced by the middle image of old muscle tissue, which shows a lower density of muscle fibers, increased scar tissue and inflammation. The addition of oxytocin to the blood of old mice rapidly rejuvenates the old muscle, as shown on the right. (Photos by Wendy Cousin and Christian Elabd, UC Berkeley)

‘Trust hormone’ oxytocin helps old muscle work like new, study finds

UC Berkeley researchers have discovered that oxytocin — a hormone associated with maternal nurturing, social attachments,
