Skeletal muscles are capable of regenerating themselves following an injury, a process that depends on muscle stem cells. In healthy resting muscle, these cells are predominantly in a quiescent state.

Muscle injuries are common in the active population, and they cause the majority of player retirements in the world of sports. Depending on the severity, recovery of muscle function is quite slow and ...

MXene nanoparticle scaffolds have been shown to stimulate muscle growth, making them a promising option to treat muscle loss and damage. Now, researchers explain the molecular mechanisms behind their ...

Researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have created a cutting-edge platform consisting of a dual-laser nonlinear optical microscope to investigate the dynamics of ...

In a recent review published in the journal Cell Metabolism, researchers elucidated mechanisms and evaluated therapies for impaired skeletal muscle regeneration in diabetes, identifying research gaps ...

Researchers from Leibniz Institute on Aging—Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena and BTU (Cottbus) have identified the cause of changes in the behavior of muscle stem cells. The insights are the ...

(Organic Media/E+/Getty Images) Regular exercise is one of the best ways to stay fit and healthy, but many of us lack the ...

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

A research group led by Dr. Naoya Kase and Prof. Megumu Saito have successfully established a model to evaluate skeletal muscle regeneration efficiency and determine how macrophages contribute to the ...
