This Ice Age pair of hunter-gatherers were both shorter than average for their population – one of them markedly so – and now we finally know why. A team of researchers from Europe re-examined the ...

A McGill-led team of researchers have made an important discovery shedding light on the genetic basis of a rare skeletal disorder. The study, published in Nature Communications, reveals that a defect ...

An Ice Age double burial in Italy has yielded a stunning genetic revelation. DNA from a mother and daughter who lived over 12,000 years ago shows that the younger had a rare inherited growth disorder, ...

Skeletal muscle channelopathies and myotonic disorders constitute a heterogeneous group of neuromuscular conditions caused by mutations that impair the function of ion channels, including sodium and ...

A new study has unveiled the crucial role of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) in skeletal development. Researchers have found that a deficiency of LRP1 in skeletal progenitor ...

UCI scientists have discovered a new treatment for the most common skeletal muscle disorder for people 50 and older, officials said. A new study shows that lithium chloride, normally used to treat ...
