As muscles age, their cells lose the ability to regenerate and heal after injury. Cornell Engineering researchers have created the most comprehensive portrait to date of how that change, in mice, ...

Scientists have created remote-controlled walking robots actuated by mouse muscle cells, Inverse reports, a Frankensteinian mashup of state-of-the-art robotics and basic biological systems that could ...

Muscle stem cells repurpose the tenogenic factor Scx to establish a muscle-specific transcriptional program that sustains stem cell expansion, migration, differentiation, fusion, self-renewal, and ...

You might think that only DC Comics superhero The Flash could run at a speed of 200 strides per second. But in the animal world, special muscles—called "superfast ...

Most humans move a lot less than our ancestors did, a change in use which is likely reflected in the composition of muscles themselves. Understanding our muscle makeup is a key step towards improving ...

This study reveals abnormal iron accumulation in the muscles of patients with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) and in mice expressing muscle-specific DUX4 (DUX4-Tg mice). Contrary to ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University have demonstrated that iron supplementation can significantly alleviate muscle pathology and functional decline in a mouse model of facioscapulohumeral muscular ...
