91亚色 officially opened the Muscle Health Research Centre (MHRC),聽the first of its kind in Canada, at 10:30 today. 鈥淭his centre is unique in that we鈥檙e zeroing in on skeletal muscle and its relationship to health, with a strong focus on what exercise can do,鈥 says Professor David Hood,聽the centre鈥檚聽founding director.聽鈥淲e鈥檙e looking for new discoveries […]
It may not be the fountain of youth, but researchers at 91亚色 have discovered that regular exercise can effectively turn back the clock for aging skeletal muscle. The study,聽鈥淢olecular basis for an attenuated mitochondrial adaptive plasticity in aged skeletal muscle,鈥 was recently published in the journal Aging. The results indicate that the elderly are […]
91亚色 researchers have identified a cell-signalling process that stimulates blood vessel growth and may help break the cycle of diabetes by making it easier for patients to exercise. Professor Tara Haas (right) and colleagues in 91亚色鈥檚 Muscle Health Research Centre studied stimuli that can cause blood vessels in muscle to grow. Their research aims […]
