David J. Cohen M.D. In this study, we examined the ability of an allogenically sourced DMM that retains physical and chemical cues to repair a medium 1 × 1 cm and a large 1.5 × 1 cm defect in the rat ...

Every movement your body makes depends on a microscopic chemical balance within individual cells. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison developed a high-sensitivity method to analyze ...

This illustration depicts a new platform for magnetic matrix actuation, enabling the study of how tissues respond to dynamic mechanical cues in their environment. Stimulating muscle fibers with ...

Researchers building a model of muscle damage in a cultured system found that components leaking from broken muscle fibers activate ''satellite cells,'' which are muscle stem cells. While attempting ...

The trillions of microbes living in the human gut are increasingly recognized as important partners in human health.

Healthy and strong muscles are essential for proper body functioning. Also, some people may want to achieve a physical appearance that is enhanced by muscle development. Skeletal muscles are composed ...

Consider the delicate web of fat in a Wagyu steak. The "marbling" that makes carnivore connoisseurs swoon is a visual heuristic for quality flavor. Now, a new study in Cell Reports suggests the very ...

The biology behind muscle pain: calcium chaos, microscopic damage, and the overlooked mechanism that explains how statins can ...
