Skeletal muscle and cardiovascular diseases continue to pose significant challenges to public health, affecting a wide range ...

Aging muscles heal more slowly after injury—a frustrating reality familiar to many older adults. A UCLA study conducted in ...

Key takeaways UCLA researchers studying mice discovered that stem cells in aged muscle accumulate a protective protein called NDRG1 that slows their ability to repair tissue but helps the cells ...

As muscles age, their cells lose the ability to regenerate and heal after injury. Now, Cornell University researchers have created the most comprehensive portrait to date of how that change, in mice, ...

Skeletal muscle stem cells in hibernating Syrian hamsters preserve their ability to function by suppressing their activation ...

Transplanting myoblasts in a fluid containing ECM helped new cells graft into existing tissue. To confirm engraftment, new cells have been designed to emit a green dye, as seen in the bottom right.

When a car accident or athletic injury destroys more than 20% of a muscle's mass, the body faces a problem it often can't ...

Human health is the Achilles heel of space travel. Researchers at ETH Zurich have now succeeded in printing complex muscle tissue in zero gravity. This will enable drugs for space missions to be ...

New research shows hibernating mammals protect muscle stem cells by suppressing activation, inflammation, and regeneration during cold, inactive periods.

Strength training strengthens muscles, improves blood glucose control, and is said to reduce the risk of cardiovascular ...
