Muscle injuries are common in the active population, and they cause the majority of player retirements in the world of sports. Depending on the severity, recovery of muscle function is quite slow and ...

In a finding that opens the door to the development of targeted therapies for various muscle disorders, newly published research identifies key mechanisms of skeletal muscle regeneration and growth of ...

Mrep accumulates in damaged muscle tissue and promotes muscle regeneration by acting on muscle satellite cells through activin A. While Mrep performs beneficial functions in normal muscle repair, in ...

We have identified a macrophage population "Mrep" that plays an essential role in muscle repair. However, in Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), Mrep functions as a pathogenic cell that ...

Consider the delicate web of fat in a Wagyu steak. The "marbling" that makes carnivore connoisseurs swoon is a visual heuristic for quality flavor. Now, a new study in Cell Reports suggests the very ...

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 ...

In a recent review published in the journal Cell Metabolism, researchers elucidated mechanisms and evaluated therapies for impaired skeletal muscle regeneration in diabetes, identifying research gaps ...

MXene nanoparticle scaffolds have been shown to stimulate muscle growth, making them a promising option to treat muscle loss and damage. Now, researchers from Pusan National University explain the ...

Some heart failure patients with artificial hearts have been able to regenerate heart muscle, potentially paving the way for future heart failure treatment options, according to a study published Nov.
