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

Losing muscle strength is a natural part of aging. At the core of this decline is a drop in the number of muscle stem cells (MuSCs), the specialized cells responsible for maintaining and regenerating ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new study generated one of the most comprehensive spatially resolved transcriptomic maps of cellular communication between ...

When bones break and there is extreme tissue loss--such as after a car accident or a battlefield injury--current treatments don't often lead to effective healing. But certain stem cells from skeletal ...

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 A ...

Multiple chronic diseases interact to promote muscle weakness, cause frailty and undermine healthy aging. As part of a 20y multidisciplinary project we have established a unique large cohort of muscle ...
