Researchers identified a molecular pathway that can limit muscle repair, a finding that may guide future muscular dystrophy treatments.

How muscle changes with ageing, and tries to fight its effects, is now better understood at the cellular and molecular level with the first comprehensive atlas of ageing muscles in humans. Researchers ...

In a recent study published in NPJ Microgravity, scientists explore the impact of spaceflight on human vascular smooth muscle cells at the transcriptomic level. Study: Spaceflight effects on human ...

Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a new class of protein-based fibers modeled on the aligned ...
