A series of recent studies has pinpointed the specific molecules and biological pathways through which physical activity protects the brain from aging, disease, and toxic protein buildup. Researchers ...

A new study explores exercise mimetics as novel therapeutics for depression by triggering muscle-to-brain signals that support mood regulation and resilience.

A recent study published in Nature presented a whole-organism molecular map of the temporal effects of endurance training in rats. Study: Temporal dynamics of the multi-omic response to endurance ...

The sun rises in the east. Check. Exercise is good for you. Yep: Check again. Research definitively confirms that muscle-moving, calorie-burning activity slows the advance of disease, improves ...

We all know the feeling: the mental clarity that comes after a good run or a heavy workout. Science backs this up, even showing that for non-severe depression, exercise can be just as effective as ...

Research Technician Sandra May checks new samples into the UVM Laboratory for Clinical Biochemistry Research, a key site for the pioneering eight-year MoTrPAC study. BURLNGTON, Vt.—For the past eight ...

Researchers propose "exercise mimetics" (exercise pills) to treat depression by hacking the muscle-brain axis for those unable to physically exercise.

Healthy, robust muscles are required for movement and normal bodily functions, but muscles can decline significantly as we age. This can increase the risk of physical problems, falls, and breaks that ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nutrients, researchers evaluate the modulatory effects of lifestyle changes, including diet and physical activity (PA), on micro-ribonucleic acid (miRNA) ...
