Lipid Synthesis is Crucial to Muscle Health

In aging and many diseases, muscles degenerate and there is a loss of function that can lead to many other health problems. As skeletal muscles break down, people can become frail and experience a general decline in their health. Scientists have now found that an enzyme called PCYT2 plays a critical role in muscle ...

Navigating by foot uses unique brain region

A National Eye Institute (NEI) study found that a unique region of the brain’s cortex is involved when relying on vision to guide foot navigation.
