Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a way to treat ageing-related muscular atrophy using regenerative medicine. Conventional methods to implant myoblasts, precursors to ...

Understanding the behavior of tiny droplets in our cells could aid the search for new treatments. A team of Leiden ...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare hereditary disease that is associated with progressive muscle wasting. The ...

Utrophin increase in muscle cells after transcriptional adaptation normalises cell function in Duchenne muscular dystrophy ...

Researchers have discovered a new mechanism that is used by a male sex hormone essential for muscle and bone function. The findings could lead to the development of new drugs with fewer side effects, ...

In muscle cells, the ER and the plasma membrane - the outer membrane of the cell - meet at periodic contact sites, an arrangement controlled by a molecule called junctophilin. Using high-resolution ...

Microplastics pose a threat to heart health, causing harmful changes in vascular cells and increasing the risk of ...

New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmitting signals in ...
