A new study published last week in Stem Cell Reports identified a critical role for RNA-binding protein TDP-43 in the ...

Because RyR1 is also expressed in neurons, immune cells, and vascular smooth muscle, the E3896A model offers a unique tool to examine CICR's broader physiological roles. By combining gene engineering, ...

Space exploration activity has been increasing. In turn, researchers are more interested than ever in uncovering more about how space travel affects human health and the progression of disease.

Skeletal muscle organoids help scientists bypass bottlenecks in satellite cell production for muscle regeneration research. Researchers typically create organoid models for other biological systems ...

FAPs reside in skeletal muscle, while superficial periosteal cells are found in the thin connective tissue called periosteum, covering the outer surface of bones. Although these cells normally remain ...

An international consortium of experts outlines a unifying conceptual framework to transform precision diagnostics, ...

As individuals age, the muscles used to walk up stairs and carry groceries gradually weaken, making everyday tasks more difficult. That same decline can happen because of illnesses like muscular ...

When bones break and there is extreme tissue loss--such as after a car accident or a battlefield injury--current treatments don't often lead to effective healing. But certain stem cells from skeletal ...
