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 ...

Harvard stem cell biologists have pioneered a groundbreaking 3D organoid culture method for generating large numbers of adult skeletal muscle satellite cells, also known as muscle stem cells, in vitro ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Liz covers cardiovascular and metabolic disease, asking why we’re not doing better or even losing ground against the world’s leading killer. Send tips on Signal at LizC.22. By its name and nature, ...

Skeletal muscles-responsible for movement, joint stabilization, and postural support-are highly metabolically active and ...

Our biceps and our brain cells may have more in common than previously thought. New research led by the Lippincott-Schwartz Lab shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those ...

Neural crest cells are a population of stem cells that invade the embryo in early development. They play a big role in what you look like: the pigments of your eyes, of your skin, and the bone ...
