Muscle-on-chip systems are three-dimensional human muscle cell bundles cultured on collagen scaffolds. A Stanford University research team sent some of these systems to the International Space Station ...

The population across developed countries is getting older and the associated frailty and debilitation are becoming major health problems. This gradual muscle loss is accelerated by the poor capacity ...

Our biceps and our brain cells may have more in common than previously thought. New research led by the Lippincott-Schwartz Lab shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those ...

A Northwestern Medicine study has uncovered how chronic defects in muscle membrane repair can fuel harmful inflammation. The ...

Skeletal muscle organoids help scientists bypass bottlenecks in satellite cell production for muscle regeneration research. Researchers typically create organoid models for other biological systems ...

Every cell in the body has the same DNA, but different cell types—such as muscle or brain cells—use different parts of it. Transcription factors help cells activate specific genes by reading certain ...

Unveiling a cellular mechanism by which muscle stem cells repair damage, researchers spark hope for remedying muscle loss caused by injury, aging and weight-loss medications. A team of scientists from ...

Study finds out why exercise reverses muscle ageing ...

Learn why a pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat, why muscle looks different, and why the scale doesn’t tell the ...
