A study has demonstrated how new skeletal muscle tissues can be grown from stem cells derived from the human placenta. The results give insights into the role of a protein that is crucial for ...

Skeletal muscle is joined to bones. Its cells contract to make bones move and joints bend. Skeletal muscles always come in pairs, just like trainers. But there is a little bit more to it than that.

“Primary skin cells ... these muscle cells are long, complex and difficult to reproduce. An advanced technique now allows human iPSCs to be converted into striated, multinucleated skeletal ...

A collaborative study led by Prof. Liu Guanghui from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Dr. Wang ...

MIT engineers have made a breakthrough in this area—they’ve developed a method to grow muscle tissue that contracts in ...

Without the corresponding functional protein, muscles cannot function or repair themselves properly, resulting in the deterioration of skeletal ... to muscle stem cells. Once inside the muscle ...
