Dr. Mackey’s project, “ Regenerating healthy human skeletal muscle at single nucleus resolution ,” will create the most detailed molecular map to date of how healthy human muscle repairs itself. The ...

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is the most common form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy, affecting about 1 in 8,000 people. While it is well known for causing muscle weakness and stiffness, DM1 also ...

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 ...

The first comprehensive cell atlas of aging human muscle reveals the intricate genetic and cellular processes behind muscle deterioration and mechanisms to counteract it. How muscle changes with ...

Muscle atrophy is a primary characteristic of both sarcopenia and cachexia, significantly impacting physical function and quality of life. This figure illustrates the multifaceted causes of muscle ...

Biohybrid robots work by combining biological components like muscles, plant material, and even fungi with non-biological materials. While we are pretty good at making the non-biological parts work, ...

With the intensification of global population aging, muscle atrophy, characterized by the loss of muscle mass and function, has become an important health issue affecting the elderly. Researchers have ...
