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 ...

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 ...

The population across developed countries is getting older and the associated frailty and debilitation are becoming major health problems. This gradual muscle loss is accelerated by the poor capacity ...

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

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 ...

A new study generated one of the most comprehensive spatially resolved transcriptomic maps of cellular communication between bone and skeletal muscle in a young mouse.
