Bruce M. Spiegelman, professor of cell biology at HMS, joined researchers at University of Texas-Southwestern in publishing a study in the Aug. 15 issue of Nature demonstrating that the protein PGC-1 can supply certain muscles with the mitochondria that power their contractions...
Rhonda Bassel-Duby, a molecular biologist at UT-Southwestern who collaborated on the study, said that the findings may have implications for invalid patients whose inactivity has led to muscle atrophy...
...know how we're going to make it," the farmer says as he looks at some of his cows huddling under a bridge to escape the burning sun. Gillen, 66, has only 20 cows left from a herd of 450.
