Why Exercising Muscles Tire When Needed Most Science Daily
Fleeing animals, human athletes and non-athletes alike have experienced skeletal muscles giving out during those intense efforts when they are needed most, whether running for survival, the finish line or the bus. While the cause of muscle fatigue has interested to physiologists, engineers and medical experts for more than half a century, the phenomenon remains incompletely understood. A new
Abnormality In Filling Of Heart Is Frequent Culprit In Heart Failure Science Daily
Difficulties in the heart's ability to fill with blood are common causes of heart failure -- and appear to be as significant in placing a heart patient at risk of death as are deficiencies in the heart's ability to pump blood, new research from Mayo Clinic shows.
Scientists See With X-rays How Bones Resist Strain Thanks To Their Nano And Micro Structure Science Daily
Scientists from Max Planck Institute (Germany) and the ESRF have just discovered the way deformation at the nanoscale takes place in a bone by studying it with the synchrotron X-rays. This study explains the enormous stability and deformability of bones. The hierarchical structure of bones makes them able to sustain large strains without breaking, despite being made of essentially rigid units at
St. Joseph's Provides Tissue Processing Services To Researchers In Hopes Of Finding Cures Science Daily
A special research program at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center is providing a safe and vital research component to scientists in hopes of finding new treatments and cures for a variety of disorders.
Helping Muscle Regenerate Science Daily
Blocking a central signal molecule, researchers from the Mouse Biology Unit of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Monterotondo, Italy, have found a way to protect muscle from degenerating after injury and to improve muscle healing in mice. The study appears in the current issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation and suggests molecules with potential to speed up the
Iron-deficient Infants Have Lower Cognitive Scores At 19, Especially In Lower Socioeconomic Levels Science Daily
Costa Rican teens who were iron-deficient as infants continue to lag behind their peers in cognitive test scores, with a wider gap for children at lower socioeconomic levels, according to study results published in the November issue of Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.
Genetic 'Missing Link' Sheds Light On Sudden Cardiac Death Science Daily
An electrical imbalance caused by a malfunctioning gene triggers long QT syndrome, a potentially fatal heart rhythm disorder. A mutation in the gene Caveolin-3 can disrupt the heart's electrical-muscular impulses and increase the risk of sudden cardiac death.
Mars Group Launches High-flying Fundraiser Science Daily
Those who cannot afford the million-dollar price tag attached to space tourism will be happy to learn that at least their names -- and their logos -- will be able to travel into space for a much smaller fee, thanks to a group of MIT students working on the design of a small research spacecraft.
