Essential fats found to play a role in gene expression

A Canadian study established that essential fats from plants are important regulators of proteins that are exuded by muscle tissue. Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and linoleic acid (LA) are the polyunsaturated fatty acids that greatly affect the expression of genes responsible for skeletal muscle secretome. The study was led by researchers from the University of Guelph. […]

Scientists find way to create working muscles from handful of skin cells in lab setting

Will humans ever be able to regrow limbs and other parts of their body like some animals? The work of one group of researchers now shows that while it’s currently outside the realm of possibility, there’s a very slim chance that it could happen at some point in the future. After years of trying, a […]
