When a car accident or athletic injury destroys more than 20% of a muscle's mass, the body faces a problem it often can't ...
In a recent study published in NPJ Microgravity, scientists explore the impact of spaceflight on human vascular smooth muscle cells at the transcriptomic level. Study: Spaceflight effects on human ...
A Tokyo-based startup said transplants of cardiac muscle cells that it engineered from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells ...
Muscle twitches fall into two main types. There’s myoclonus, where a whole muscle or group of muscles twitch or spasm. Then ...
New research shows hibernating mammals protect muscle stem cells by suppressing activation, inflammation, and regeneration during cold, inactive periods.
