Researchers have identified a gene, namely C18ORF25, that promotes muscle strength when switched on by physical activity, unlocking the potential for the development of therapeutic treatments to mimic some of the benefits of working out. Published in Cell Metabolism, the University of Melbourne-led study showed how different types of exercise change the molecules in our […]
