A dysfunction in muscle blood vessels could be to blame for the weak muscles and weight loss that most cancer patients ...

New research conducted on animal subjects suggests that ketogenic diets help muscle stem cells survive stress, and scientists believe the same could be true for humans. University researchers at ...

A team at Nottingham Trent University analyzed the full set of more than 11,000 gene transcripts inside muscle cells, finding that the 'development pathways'—the different ways in which genes ...

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 ...

Now a lab-grown patch of heart muscle engineered from induced pluripotent stem cells may hold promise. A paper published Wednesday in Nature describes success in rhesus macaques and in one patient ...

In a new study, stopping skeletal-muscle cancer cells from making a specific protein forced them to turn into healthy muscle cells. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

The heart pumps blood through the vascular system, supplying cells with oxygen and energy Smooth muscle cells in the vessels finely regulate the blood flow. If they cannot perform their task ...

A new study reveals a unique form of cell communication that controls muscle repair. A new study published in the journal Science reveals a unique form of cell communication that controls muscle ...

Muscle patches made with stem cells can help repair heart injuries such as heart failures without adverse effects, according to a study published this Wednesday in the journal 'Nature' reported by ...

Growing muscles in a lab usually means a liquid medium to supply nutrients and oxygen to muscle cells seeded on petri dishes or applied to gel scaffoldings. Since these cultured muscles are small ...
