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 ...

In work published in Nature Biotechnology, Rubin and his research group turned to 3D cell culture to take on the problem of generating sufficient satellite cells for regenerative therapies. 2 ...

- Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, are specialized cells designed for contraction and force production. Skeletal Muscle Cells: These cells are long, cylindrical, and have a striated (or striped) ...

UCLA researchers have found that specific molecular changes in mice may actually provide protective effects instead of causing harm.

A research team has found that specific immune cells can connect with muscle fibers in a lightning-fast, neuron-like way to promote healing. These cells deliver quick pulses of calcium, triggering ...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a neuromuscular disease causing progressive skeletal muscle weakness and fatigue. The research team led by Associate Professor Hidetoshi Sakurai (Department of ...
