A new 3D model shows that Duchenne gene therapy can repair muscle fibers but fails to shut down the signals that drive scarring.

The “atrofish” reveals early triggers of sarcopenia and links muscle loss to nerve degeneration, establishing a platform for comparative research on muscle aging and potential therapies As people age, ...

Researchers developed a high-sensitivity proteomics method to analyze individual human muscle fibers. The technique identified 37 protein variations, including key contractile proteins and their ...

Deep tissue injury (DTI) is a serious condition primarily triggered by prolonged mechanical loading rather than short-term excessive force. Cyclic force stimulation has been shown to enhance cellular ...

Building functional human muscle in the laboratory has long been a goal of regenerative medicine, but one stubborn obstacle ...

Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a new class of protein-based fibers modeled on the aligned structure of animal skeletal muscle, producing materials that resist ...

Researchers identified a molecular pathway that can limit muscle repair, a finding that may guide future muscular dystrophy treatments.

Combining lab-grown muscle tissue with a series of flexible mechanical joints has led to the development of an artificial hand that can grip and make gestures. The breakthrough shows the way forward ...

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 ...
