A new discovery may explain why so many people abandon cholesterol-lowering statins because of muscle pain and weakness.

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

In work published in Nature Biotechnology, Rubin and his research group turned to 3D cell culture to take on the problem of generating sufficient satellite cells for regenerative therapies. 2 ...

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

- Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, are specialized cells designed for contraction and force production. Skeletal Muscle Cells: These cells are long, cylindrical, and have a striated (or striped) ...

I’ve always been bookish. I spend most of my time in the lab rather than running, jumping or climbing. But I still have super strong muscles. They’re way bigger than when I was a young. I asked my ...

Harvard stem cell biologists have pioneered a groundbreaking 3D organoid culture method for generating large numbers of adult skeletal muscle satellite cells, also known as muscle stem cells, in vitro ...

Scientists have discovered how exercise protects aging muscles by suppressing DEAF1, a molecule they identified as a driver ...

Skeletal muscle cells are long and thin and can contain multiple nuclei. These cells fuse end to end with their neighbors to form myotubes, which then collectively form muscle fibers. When bundled ...
