Skeletal muscle stem cells in hibernating Syrian hamsters preserve their ability to function by suppressing their activation ...

Aging muscles heal more slowly after injury - a frustrating reality familiar to many older adults. A new UCLA study conducted in mice reveals an unexpected cause: Stem cells in aged muscle accumulate ...

Muscles make up nearly 40% of the human body and power every move we make, from a child's first steps to recovery after injury. For some, however, muscle development goes awry, leading to weakness, ...

In a recent study published in NPJ Microgravity, scientists explore the impact of spaceflight on human vascular smooth muscle cells at the transcriptomic level. Study: Spaceflight effects on human ...

- Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, are specialized cells designed for contraction and force production. Skeletal Muscle Cells: These cells are long, cylindrical, and have a striated (or striped) ...

As people age, muscles naturally lose mass and strength, a condition known as sarcopenia. The decline can make everyday ...

Key takeawaysUCLA researchers studying mice discovered that stem cells in aged muscle accumulate a protective protein called ...
