The research sets the path for research on new treatments for age-related degenerative conditions, including muscle atrophy and Alzheimer's disease.</p> http://science-nature.marc8.com/stem-cell-researchers-give-old-muscle-new-pep#comments Top stories adult stem cells biochemical signals muscle atrophy stem cell researchers university of california berkeley http://science-nature.marc8.com/crss/node/5347 Sun, 15 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0500 admin 5347 at http://science-nature.marc8.com http://science-nature.marc8.com/long-term-use-mechanical-ventilation-contributes-deter <p>A new study shows, for the first time in humans, that ventilators combined with diaphragm disuse contributes to muscle atrophy in the diaphragm in as little as eighteen hours. Muscle atrophy in the diaphragm is a major contributor of why patients who have undergone prolonged mechanical ventilation often have difficulty breathing after being removed from the ventilator. <p><a href="http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~a/sciencedaily?a=HV2bQs"><img src="http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~a/sciencedaily?i=HV2bQs" border="0"></img></a></p> <p><a href="http://science-nature.marc8.com/long-term-use-mechanical-ventilation-contributes-deter">read more</a></p> http://science-nature.marc8.com/long-term-use-mechanical-ventilation-contributes-deter#comments Top stories diaphragm disuse eighteen hours mechanical ventilation muscle atrophy http://science-nature.marc8.com/crss/node/2548 Fri, 28 Mar 2008 11:00:00 -0500 admin 2548 at http://science-nature.marc8.com
