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 ...

An experimental study in Science Advances shows that statins, primarily fluvastatin in these experiments, may promote ...

A new study suggests that statins may activate inflammatory "danger signals" inside muscle cells, leading to weakness and ...

Thirty marks the spot. Starting at this age, we begin to lose approximately three to eight percent of muscle mass per decade. With it, we also lose strength and mobility. Left unaddressed, this loss ...

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 ...

Researchers mapped 442,239 single nuclei from nonfailing human hearts to chart how cardiac cells change from fetal ...

Aging muscle releases few protective vesicles, weakening signals that curb tumor growth, while exercise restores ...

Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) is an autosomal dominant muscular dystrophy and one of the most frequent hereditary myopathies. The pathology shows a wide range of clinical signs, with modifying ...

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

New experimental research suggests statin-related muscle symptoms may be linked to inflammatory signalling and disrupted muscle metabolism. The study points to reduced isoprenoid production, impaired ...

Cultured meat offers an innovative solution to the environmental and animal welfare issues raised by traditional livestock farming 1,2,3. Currently, the cultured meat approach relies on proliferating ...

Reckless exercise can lead to exertional rhabdomyolysis, a condition that has risen due to the popularity of high-intensity ...
