Scientists regenerate damaged muscle tissue using cell reprogramming technology and natural-synthetic hybrid scaffold. Muscle is the largest organ that accounts for 40% of body mass and plays an ...

Researchers have identified the role of the large Maf transcription factor family in regulating fast twitch muscle fibers. A mouse model lacking Maf expression in the skeletal muscles exhibited a ...

News Release -- LOGAN, UT -- Mar. 9, 2021 -- Researchers at Utah State University are using silkworm silk to grow skeletal muscle cells, improving on traditional methods of cell culture and hopefully ...

As people age, muscles naturally lose mass and strength, a condition known as sarcopenia. The decline can make everyday activities harder and increases the risk of falls, disability and early death.

Different types of exercise encourage the formation of different types of muscle fibers, or the cells that make up your muscles. Slow twitch muscle fibers support endurance activities like ...

Biological muscles act as flexible actuators, generating force naturally and with an impressive range of motion. Unsurprisingly, scientists and engineers have been striving to build artificial muscles ...

Researchers discovered that R. inulinivorans plays an important role in muscle strength and could act as a probiotic ...

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.

Everyone is familiar, at least hand-wavingly, with the distinction between slow-twitch and fast-twitch muscle-fiber types. The former are great for running marathons; the latter are ideal for ...
