Vascular calcification is a manifestation of cardiovascular disease (CVD) caused by abnormal deposition of minerals in the vascular system because of a phosphate–calcium imbalance. This condition can ...

Human bronchial smooth muscle cells (HBSMCs) were obtained from Procell Life Science and Technology Co., Ltd (Wuhan, China) and cultured on DMEM that contained 10% foetal bovine serum and 1% ...

Muscle-on-chip systems are three-dimensional human muscle cell bundles cultured on collagen scaffolds. A Stanford University research team sent some of these systems to the International Space Station ...

Losing muscle strength is a natural part of aging. At the core of this decline is a drop in the number of muscle stem cells (MuSCs), the specialized cells responsible for maintaining and regenerating ...

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

Muscle tissue from aged mice seven days after injury. Left: Aged mice with normal NDRG1 levels show slower regeneration with smaller muscle fibers. Right: Aged mice in which NDRG1 was recently blocked ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have made a significant contribution to the understanding of the regeneration of skeletal muscle stem cells, shedding light on the mechanisms underlying muscle ...

Statins are a cornerstone of heart health, but muscle pain and weakness cause many patients to quit taking them. Scientists have now identified the precise molecular trigger behind these side effects.
