Recent studies have shown that cells from the bone marrow can give rise to differentiated skeletal muscle fibers. However, the mechanisms and identities of the cell types involved have remained ...

A common molecule found in the body could be targeted to turn aged muscle cells to become young again, helping prevent ...

While single-cell RNA sequencing looks at individual cells, including less common types of muscle stem cells and other supporting cells, profiling muscle fibers is difficult. Single-nucleus RNA ...

Human muscle cells come back from space, look aged Astronauts' muscles atrophy in space, but we can identify the genes involved. Jacek Krywko – Aug 2, 2024 11:33 am | 40 ...

Study finds that the pace of evolution in organisms differs depending on the type of cells involved. A new study finds that ...

The detailed assessment of many cell types over time showed discoordination in the process of muscle repair in older mice. Many immune cells, which coordinate tissue repair, show up at the wrong time.

Two species of worms have retained remarkably similar patterns in the way they switch their genes on and off despite having ...

A single myosin filament connects to two actin filaments on either side, forming a single unit of muscle tissue known as a sarcomere. Intercalated discs connect cardiac muscle cells.

In a study published Aug. 28 in the journal PNAS, researchers found that disabling a particular protein complex in cells of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) — a rare cancer in skeletal muscle tissue that ...

Their numbers peak four days later, after which the tissue goes from an inflammatory state to an anti-inflammatory state. It’s thought that regulatory T cells mediate this transition, which is a ...
