As people age, muscles naturally lose mass and strength, a condition known as sarcopenia. The decline can make everyday activities harder and increases the risk of falls, disability and early death.

MicroRNA-184 (miR-184) mutations have been previously tied to inherited anterior segment dysgenesis, potentially causing cataracts and keratoconus. To elucidate the involvement of miR-184 in ocular ...

Melatonin is a naturally produced molecule that has long been suspected to play a role in healthy sleep, but it has been ...

Given that the developmental processes of zebrafish facial structure is similar to human, they can be leveraged as a low-cost and readily available animal model for exploring the underlying molecular ...
