Researchers have identified the role of the large Maf transcription factor family in regulating fast twitch muscle fibers. A mouse model lacking Maf expression in the skeletal muscles exhibited a ...
Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have shown that the protein Musashi-2 (Msi2) plays a key role in the regulation of mass and metabolic processes in skeletal muscle. They ...
Why did I do it? The human skeletal muscle consists of two major cell types, slow-twitch fibres (also called type I fibres) and fast-twitch fibres (or type II fibres). These fibres have distinct ...

Train smarter by knowing your muscle fibers
Your body’s muscle fibers aren’t all the same—and they don’t adapt to training in the same way. Understanding the difference between slow-twitch and fast-twitch fibers can help you tailor workouts for ...
Most humans move a lot less than our ancestors did, a change in use which is likely reflected in the composition of muscles themselves. Understanding our muscle makeup is a key step towards improving ...
The flow of water within a muscle fiber may dictate how quickly muscle can contract, according to a new study. The flow of water within a muscle fiber may dictate how quickly muscle can contract, ...
Hypertrophy is the medical term for muscle growth. Everyone can build muscle, but not everyone will experience the same gains or speed of muscle growth. Genetics, age, hormones, nutrition, and other ...
