Scientists obtained stem cells expressing cardiac muscle-specific genes and proteins. The cells displayed regular rhythmic contractions similar to a heart, confirming that they were functional ...

The biology behind muscle pain: calcium chaos, microscopic damage, and the overlooked mechanism that explains how statins can ...

Several research groups across the United States and Europe have demonstrated that 3D-printed artificial muscles can ...

Avocados, bananas, leafy vegetables, nuts, and fermented foods are commonly used foods that can help prevent muscle cramps.

NUS researchers have developed a platform that lets lab-grown muscle tissues train themselves to record-breaking strength, ...

Researchers at the National University of Singapore have developed a new way to make lab-grown muscles stronger by letting them train themselves, removing a major limitation in biohybrid robotics. The ...

Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered that a protein called platelet-derived growth factor subunit B (PDGF-B) is continuously secreted from skeletal muscle cells and helps to ...

Researchers have created a magnet-containing gel mat that simulates the mechanical forces exerted on muscle cells during exercise. The novel ‘workout mat’ might assist in testing treatments for people ...

Researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and at Sun Yat-sen University have generated what they claim is the first comprehensive atlas of aging muscles in humans. The team applied single-cell ...
