In the event of a heart attack, the affected part of the heart muscle can no longer be supplied with oxygen and nutrients. As ...

As an embryo develops from a small cluster of stem cells, those once "blank slate" cells begin to take on more specialized ...

Skeletal muscles grow and regenerate as individual precursor cells—called myoblasts—fuse into long fibers from which mature ...

A new Aging Cell review details how skeletal muscle communicates with bone, brain, and tumors through extracellular vesicles, ...

Skeletal muscles are capable of regenerating themselves following an injury, a process that depends on muscle stem cells. In ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a three-layer model of human blood vessels that enables researchers to ...

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 ...

Before testing new therapies in animals, researchers now have a more efficient starting point — lab-grown canine muscle cells that can help identify what works and what doesn’t. Developed at the Texas ...

By merging bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing with machine learning and lab experiments, researchers have identified smooth ...

Researchers typically create organoid models for other biological systems with pluripotent stem cells, but the Harvard team began with readily accessible myoblasts, which satellite cells differentiate ...
