Duke University researchers have grown the first functional human skeletal muscle tissue entirely from induced human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). The achievement could feasibly allow scientists to ...

Muscle loss (atrophy) due to inactivity is common after illness, injury, hospitalization or falls, and becomes increasingly ...

Researchers have developed a first-of-its-kind roadmap of how human skeletal muscle develops, including the formation of muscle stem cells. An interdisciplinary team of researchers at the Eli and ...

Researchers say a regulatory protein found in skeletal muscle fiber may play an important role in the body's fight or flight response when encountering stressful situations. Researchers at the ...

Humans have a distinctive skeleton, and are the only bipedal great apes (the great ape species are bonobos, chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, and humans). While the evolution of the human skeleton ...

The skeletal system is made up of your bones and creates the support structure for the rest of your tissue and organs. Your skeletal system gives your body shape, supports your muscles, provides ...

We all have that friend who packs on muscle like it’s nothing, while the rest of us slog through our training week after week. Genetics explain some of the difference, but new research suggests your ...

Our skeletons are the support system for our entire body. Poor posture is caused by many things. Reasons include hereditary physical disease, inner ear infections, nervous system disorders, eye ...

Through observation and knowledge of the muscular-skeletal system and its functional kinetics, students are encouraged to express the human form in graphic language. The structural study of the human ...
