I’ve always been bookish. I spend most of my time in the lab rather than running, jumping or climbing. But I still have super strong muscles. They’re way bigger than when I was a young. I asked my ...

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 ...

Every cell in your body is a specific size. Red blood cells, neurons, skin cells and muscle cells are all individuals, but ...

Scientists at the University of California, Irvine's School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences have discovered how muscle stem cells "flip a switch" to rebuild damaged muscle – a finding that could ...

Muscle cells contain their own circadian clocks and disrupting them with shift work can have a profound impact on aging, according to the results of a preclinical study carried out by Jeffrey Kelu, ...

Researchers have identified a molecular mechanism that helps explain why exercise remains so effective in maintaining muscle ...

New research reveals that muscle retains memory of disuse, potentially explaining why returning to activity after an injury ...
