A research team led by Prof. Chen Yan and Prof. Yang Lifeng from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed a physiological function of monocarboxylate ...
Researchers developed a high-sensitivity proteomics method to analyze individual human muscle fibers. The technique identified 37 protein variations, including key contractile proteins and their ...
In work published in Nature Biotechnology, Rubin and his research group turned to 3D cell culture to take on the problem of generating sufficient satellite cells for regenerative therapies. 2 ...
- 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) ...
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 ...
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a neuromuscular disease causing progressive skeletal muscle weakness and fatigue. The research team led by Associate Professor Hidetoshi Sakurai (Department of ...
Explore the impact of OPA1 deletion in skeletal muscle on mitochondrial–endoplasmic reticulum (ER) tethering and the electron microscopy techniques used to investigate these mitochondrial–ER contact ...
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 ...
