UCLA researchers have found that specific molecular changes in mice may actually provide protective effects instead of causing harm.

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 ...

Our hearts beat around 100,000 times a day—and do so throughout our entire lives. They draw the energy for this from the ...

Pioneering research by experts at the University of Sydney, the Baird Institute and the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney has shown that heart muscle cells regrow after a heart attack, opening up ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and at Sun Yat-sen University have generated what they claim is the first comprehensive atlas of aging muscles in humans. The team applied single-cell ...

For years, doctors have heard the same complaint from patients on statins: their muscles hurt. Some describe general achiness, others struggle with weakness, and in rare cases, people end up in the ...

A research team reports that muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is dangerous not only because tumor cells breach the bladder’s detrusor muscle, but also because that invasion can reprogram the ...

It’s a bizarre sight: With a short burst of light, a sponge-shaped robot scoots across a tiled surface. Flipped on its back, it repeatedly twitches as if doing sit-ups. By tinkering with the light’s ...
