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

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 ...

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

- Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, are specialized cells designed for contraction and force production. Skeletal Muscle Cells: These cells are long, cylindrical, and have a striated (or striped) ...

In work published in Nature Biotechnology, Rubin and his research group turned to 3D cell culture to take on the problem of generating sufficient satellite cells for regenerative therapies. 2 ...

DECEMBER 3, 2025—(BRONX, NY)—Two related studies published today in Nature Metabolism show that a specialized intracellular recycling mechanism—chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA)—is essential for ...

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 ...

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

If cancer is a disease of overabundance, where cells divide without restraint and tumors grow despite the body’s best interests, then degenerative diseases are disorders of deprivation. When ...

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