Adult skeletal muscle is a tissue with a high capacity for regeneration due to the existence of stem cell population, termed ...

As we age, the muscles we rely on for daily activities tend to become less reliable. With enough decline, even normal movements such as getting out of bed become risky.

Two related studies published today in Nature Metabolism show that a specialized intracellular recycling ...

Researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and at Sun Yat-sen University have generated what they claim is the first comprehensive atlas of aging muscles in humans. The team applied single-cell ...

Mice lacking the extracellular matrix protein tenascin-C showed a reduced ability to repair muscular damage compared to controls.

Researchers have investigated the effect of increased cell temperature on the contractility of skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle by heating the muscle proteins using advanced microscopical techniques ...

Prospective studies are needed to determine if preoperative body composition predicts survival,” study researchers noted.
