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 Station ...

Pioneering research by experts at the University of Sydney, the Baird Institute and the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in ...

Repeated exercise, or wasting, can change the way key genes work.

Regenerative heart therapies involve transplanting cardiac muscle cells into damaged areas of the heart to recover lost function. However, the risk of arrhythmias following this procedure is ...

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 research team has found that specific immune cells can connect with muscle fibers in a lightning-fast, neuron-like way to promote healing. These cells deliver quick pulses of calcium, triggering ...

Study shows that cardiac spheroids, derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, can be easily transported and injected into damaged areas of the heart to promote its regeneration and recovery ...
