Learn what muscles pull-ups work, including lats, arms, shoulders, core, grip roles and mechanics. Start training!

University of Delaware’s Mona Batish is a molecular biologist. She studies circular RNAs formed as a result of so-called molecular mistakes that occur when a strand of RNA — the ribonucleic acid that ...

Muscle growth is more than just moving heavy weights—it's a complex biological response. In this video, we explain how resistance training creates micro-tears in your muscle fibers, triggering a ...

How can microgravity influence muscle regeneration and overall muscle loss in astronauts? This is what a recent study published in Stem Cell Reports hopes to address as an international team of ...

Umeå University researchers discovered that muscle spindles detect mechanical pressure, not just muscle stretch. This finding led to the development of the ‘triple-eight’ technique: applying and ...

MIT scientists find that motor neuron growth increased significantly over 5 days in response to biochemical (left) and mechanical (right) signals related to exercise. The green ball represents cluster ...

Researchers have uncovered a molecular “switch” that helps explain why exercise keeps ageing muscles healthy. By reducing ...

Muscle loss, or atrophy, due to inactivity is common after illness, injury, hospitalization or falls, and becomes increasingly frequent with aging. New research published in Advanced Science shows ...

Before Adam Sharples became a molecular physiologist studying muscle memory, he played professional rugby. Over his years as an athlete, he noticed that he and his teammates seemed to return to form ...

The more we move, the more our muscle cells begin to make a memory of that exercise. MIT Technology Review Explains: Let our writers untangle the complex, messy world of technology to help you ...

Unveiling a cellular mechanism by which muscle stem cells repair damage, researchers spark hope for remedying muscle loss caused by injury, aging and weight-loss medications. A team of scientists from ...
