Uteroplacental insufficiency and subsequent intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) affects postnatal metabolism. In juvenile rats, IUGR alters skeletal muscle mitochondrial gene expression and reduces ...

Scientists improve on 3D bioprinting research by investigating the effects of neural cell integration into bioprinted muscle constructs to accelerate functional muscle regeneration. Wake Forest ...

Skeletal muscles harbor quiescent muscle-specific stem cells (MuSCs) capable of tissue regeneration throughout life. Muscle injury precipitates a complex inflammatory response in which a multiplicity ...

Repeated exercise, or wasting, can change the way key genes work.

From arthritis and heart failure to diabetes and menopause, many conditions are associated with muscle weakness and increased fat deposits. Now a multidisciplinary team of researchers at the ...

- 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) ...

A new study published in the journal of Transplantation Proceedings showed that even if renal function improves, skeletal ...

There's a lot of talk about lean muscle compared to bulk muscle, but experts say it's not worth differentiating the two.

Estrogen acts as a regulator of muscle energy metabolism and muscle cell viability, research shows. Menopause leads to the cessation of ovarian estrogen production concurrent to the deterioration of ...
