As people age, muscles naturally lose mass and strength, a condition known as sarcopenia. The decline can make everyday activities harder and increases the risk of falls, disability and early death.

Abstract: Data gloves offer excellent portability and a strong ability to handle occluded movements, making them more advantageous over other methods for capturing complex hand motions in unstructured ...

This review examines the giant elastic protein titin and its critical roles in heart function, both in health and disease, as discovered since its identification nearly 50 years ago. Encoded by the ...

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is the most common form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy, affecting about 1 in 8,000 people. While it is well known for causing muscle weakness and stiffness, DM1 also ...

New electric vehicle sales have been slowing in the U.S. in recent months. Following the end of the federal tax credit and some new models on hold or canceled altogether, most automakers are expected ...
