New research describes how nerve cells and muscle cells communicate through electrical signals during development -- a phenomenon known as bioelectricity. The communication, which takes place via ...

This study proposes a cross-species transcriptomic framework to predict vaccine reactogenicity, with implications for preclinical vaccine safety assessment. The findings show that mouse muscle ...

University of Delaware’s Mona Batish is a molecular biologist. She studies circular RNAs formed as a result of so-called molecular mistakes that occur when a strand of RNA — the ribonucleic acid that ...

Building muscles: Muscle stem cells (their nuclei marked in blue) gradually alter their structure and function, becoming adult muscle cells (whose nuclei turn red). Those cells will eventually fuse ...

A study conducted at the University of Jyväskylä's Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences investigated how a 10-week break from resistance training affected maximum strength and muscle size. The study ...

Muscles make up nearly 40% of the human body and power every move we make, from a child’s first steps to recovery after injury. For some, however, muscle development goes awry, leading to weakness, ...
