It's no coincidence that our bodies feel a little creakier as we age. The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age too, and some change in ways that weaken the very structure of our bones.

Background Skeletal muscle mass (SMM) is inversely associated with cardiometabolic health and the ageing process. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the relation between SMM and 10 year ...

It's no coincidence that our bodies feel a little creakier as we age. The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age too, and some change in ways that weaken the very structure of our bones.

As cell-based therapies aimed at prolongation of skeletal muscle strength in aging and neuromuscular disease are limited by the small number of muscle stem cells isolated from normal muscle ...

adoptive cell therapy, cancer vaccines, and combined chemoimmunotherapy, while examining their effects on skeletal muscle function and systemic immune responses. Key findings indicate that although ...

made up of muscle fibers or muscle cells. Each muscle fiber is divided into myofibrils that contain thick (myosin) and thin (actin) myofilaments. The myofilaments give skeletal muscle a characteristic ...

We differentiated induced pluripotent stem cells from risk, nonrisk donors at 9p21.3, and isogenic knockouts into vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). We performed single-cell transcriptomic ...

It diffuses into the nucleus, where the genome resides, through large pores. There, enzymes break down the metabolites into epigenetic marks known as acetyl groups and place them on histones to ...

A well-rounded diet is essential when trying to gain muscle. It helps ensure you get the nutrients your body needs, enhances muscle building, and supports post-workout recovery. Protein is the ...

A team led by MIT's tissue engineering professor Ritu Raman thinks it’s found a way to build those muscles by growing a thin, single-layer sheet of skeletal muscle cells designed to mimic the muscle ...
