- 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) ...

Cells have an internal skeleton that maintains their structure and also drives their movement. Known as the cytoskeleton, ...

Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered that a protein called platelet-derived growth factor subunit B (PDGF-B) is continuously secreted from skeletal muscle cells and helps to ...

Researchers in Japan have created a biomimetic gelatin gel that replicates the softness and microstructure of slow-twitch muscle tissue, allowing muscle precursor cells to develop genetic and ...

ETH Zurich scientists 3D print muscle tissue in simulated zero gravity, paving the way for growing human tissue in space.

Researchers have developed peptide-based hydrogels that mimic the aligned structure of muscle and nerve tissues, which could enable the development of functional lab-grown tissue. A team of chemists ...

Researchers have published findings that could contribute to future therapeutics for muscle degeneration due to old age, and diseases such as cancer and muscular dystrophy. An international team led ...

In a recent review published in the journal Cell Metabolism, researchers elucidated mechanisms and evaluated therapies for impaired skeletal muscle regeneration in diabetes, identifying research gaps ...
