A new 3D model shows that Duchenne gene therapy can repair muscle fibers but fails to shut down the signals that drive scarring.

Building functional human muscle in the laboratory has long been a goal of regenerative medicine, but one stubborn obstacle ...

A UCLA study in mice reveals that aging muscle stem cells accumulate a protein that slows repair but boosts survival. This ...

Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a new class of protein-based fibers modeled on the aligned structure of animal skeletal muscle, producing materials that resist ...

Hibernating animals are known to maintain their muscle mass during periods of hibernation, despite the lack of food during these periods. Typically, skeletal muscle undergoes severe atrophy and ...

During hibernation, brown bears spend up to six months lying almost completely still, without eating, drinking or exercising.

A team led by Professor Shoichiro Asayama at Tokyo Metropolitan University has synthesized a charge-free molecule designed to sneak plasmid DNA into living cells via hydrogen bonding, dramatically ...
