A research group led by Dr. Naoya Kase and Prof. Megumu Saito have successfully established a model to evaluate skeletal muscle regeneration efficiency and determine how macrophages contribute to the ...

The ability for skeletal muscle to constantly generate force is limited by the muscle fatigue. The calcium ion plays a significant role of the cross-bridge cycle under fatigue conditions in the force ...

Abnormally high blood sugar (glucose) levels can result in Type 2 diabetes when things go awry with the body's skeletal muscle, which plays a key role in regulating glucose. Scientists are using in ...

In a previous report, we demonstrated that Cbx1, PurB and Sp3 inhibited cardiac muscle differentiation by increasing nucleosome density around cardiac muscle gene promoters. Since cardiac and skeletal ...

Abnormally high blood sugar (glucose) levels can result in type 2 diabetes when things go awry with the body's skeletal muscle, which plays a key role in regulating glucose. Scientists are using in ...

Because RyR1 is also expressed in neurons, immune cells, and vascular smooth muscle, the E3896A model offers a unique tool to examine CICR's broader physiological roles. By combining gene engineering, ...

Can you explain what Myomaker Bio's lab-grown human muscle platform is and the challenge it aims to address in drug development? Myomaker Bio develops three-dimensional human-derived muscle organs and ...

Space exploration activity has been increasing. In turn, researchers are more interested than ever in uncovering more about how space travel affects human health and the progression of disease.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder that leaves people unable to make an important protein called dystrophin, resulting in muscle weakness and degeneration Current viral-based gene ...

A recent article highlights the critical importance of skeletal muscle mass in the context of medically induced weight loss, particularly with the widespread use of GLP-1 receptor agonists. These ...
