Losing muscle strength is a natural part of aging. At the core of this decline is a drop in the number of muscle stem cells (MuSCs), the specialized cells responsible for maintaining and regenerating ...

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

Learn how a blood-based aging test connected youthful brain-support cells with lower genetic risk and older muscle cells with ...

A team of researchers has recently developed a nondestructive imaging and machine learning system that accurately predicts the efficiency of stem cell differentiation into muscle stem cells. The team ...

Before testing new therapies in animals, researchers now have a more efficient starting point—lab-grown canine muscle cells ...

When bones break and there is extreme tissue loss--such as after a car accident or a battlefield injury--current treatments don't often lead to effective healing. But certain stem cells from skeletal ...

Scientists have discovered that a specific protein in slow-twitch muscles is essential for regulating the body's blood sugar, ...

Duke-NUS scientists have discovered that aging muscle may contribute to cancer growth by releasing fewer extracellular ...

As individuals age, the muscles used to walk up stairs and carry groceries gradually weaken, making everyday tasks more difficult. That same decline can happen because of illnesses like muscular ...

A new study from UC San Francisco shows how certain cells in the brain may cause aneurysms to weaken and rupture. It helps ...
