In an international collaboration, researchers have made an important breakthrough in the therapeutic delivery of microRNAs ...
In humans, a single myofiber can be created from hundreds or even thousands of muscle cells resulting in a single mature cell with the corresponding number of nuclei. Videos like this one can provide ...
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 ...
A heart can never rest. That creates a problem for a heart that has lost muscle tissue. “Skeletal muscle has a significant ...
The scientists demonstrate that it is possible to specifically deliver the treatment to the muscle stem cells, avoiding ...
This is especially problematic in cases of blocked blood vessels, which can repeatedly starve large areas of the heart of oxygen and nutrients, killing the cardiomyocytes there. This leads to a ...
Scientists have discovered an antibody treatment that may help prevent both muscle loss and bone density loss in people using ...
Conventional methods to implant myoblasts, precursors to muscle fiber, require prior scarring for the new cells to graft ...
The breakthrough, hailed as a significant advancement in cardiovascular treatment, could provide an alternative to heart transplants and artificial heart pumps ...
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a way to treat ageing-related muscular atrophy using regenerative medicine. Conventional methods to implant myoblasts, precursors to ...
In a surprising discovery, scientists have found that the heart possesses "sweet taste" receptors, similar to those on our tongues, and that stimulating these receptors with sweet substances can ...
