NUS researchers have developed a platform that lets lab-grown muscle tissues train themselves to record-breaking strength, ...

Musculoskeletal disorders are a primary cause of disability worldwide, especially in aging societies like Japan. As individuals age, reductions in muscle mass and physical activity weaken the body's ...

A new 3D model shows that Duchenne gene therapy can repair muscle fibers but fails to shut down the signals that drive scarring.

We have identified a macrophage population "Mrep" that plays an essential role in muscle repair. However, in Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), Mrep functions as a pathogenic cell that ...

Traumatic muscle injury can be associated with volumetric muscle loss (VML), often leading to permanent functional loss.

Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a new class of protein-based fibers modeled on the aligned structure of animal skeletal muscle, producing materials that resist ...

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 ...

We have identified a macrophage population "Mrep" that plays an essential role in muscle repair. However, in Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva ...

Two related studies published today in Nature Metabolism show that a specialized intracellular recycling mechanism—chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA)—is essential for muscle health. Subscribe to our ...

Swallowing is a fundamental human function that supports nutrition and communication. Damage to swallowing muscles can reduce ...
