A new study generated one of the most comprehensive spatially resolved transcriptomic maps of cellular communication between ...

Space exploration activity has been increasing. In turn, researchers are more interested than ever in uncovering more about how space travel affects human health and the progression of disease.

Scientists at UCLA discovered a surprising reason aging muscles heal more slowly. In older muscle stem cells, a protein called NDRG1 builds up and acts like a brake, slowing the cells’ ability to jump ...

Musculoskeletal disorders are a primary cause of disability worldwide, especially in aging societies like Japan. As individuals age, reductions in muscle mass and physical activity weaken the body's ...

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 ...

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

The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. However, the physiological role of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) through the ryanodine receptor ...

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is the most common form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy, affecting about 1 in 8,000 people. While it is well known for causing muscle weakness and stiffness, DM1 also ...

Before testing new therapies in animals, researchers now have a more efficient starting point — lab-grown canine muscle cells that can help identify what works and what does not. Developed at the ...
