“These progenitor cells resemble adult muscle stem cells called ‘satellite cells’ that can theoretically grow an entire muscle starting from a single cell.” In their previous work, Bursac and his team ...

Duke University researchers have grown the first functional human skeletal muscle tissue entirely from induced human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). The achievement could feasibly allow scientists ...

Therefore, modelling human skeletal muscle in vitro is a vital research need to better understand muscle function and for preclinical investigations into muscle-related diseases and drug discovery. To ...

The work is published in the journal Stem Cell Research & Therapy.. DMD is a rare inherited neuromuscular disease caused by mutations in the largest gene known in the human genome, DMD, located on ...

Sarcopenia, which is a progressive and extensive decline in muscle mass and strength, is common with aging and estimated to ...

Teichmann and colleagues described the study in a paper in Nature Aging titled “Human skeletal muscle aging atlas.”. Skeletal muscle makes up 40% of our body mass, is essential for movement ...

This study used human induced pluripotent stem cells in a microphysiological ... The neuromuscular junction is the point where motoneurons connect with skeletal muscle and is responsible for ...

Led by scientists at Hiroshima University and Hokkaido University, the research team took cultured human skeletal muscle cells and infused them with serum drawn from the blood of hibernating black ...

Our skeletal muscles, which link to bones and enable us to move, have a remarkable ability to regenerate after they've suffered an injury. Scientists have now developed a cutting edge microscopy tool ...

The human body contains three kinds of muscle tissue: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Only cardiac muscle tissue, comprising cells called myocytes , is present in the heart.

Defective MERCs are associated with cellular oxidative stress, neurodegenerative disease, and cardiac and skeletal muscle pathology via mechanisms that are poorly understood. Antentor’s lab previously ...
