The mechanical environment of smooth muscle cells and the surrounding extracellular matrix orchestrates vascular tone, tissue remodelling and pathology. Smooth muscle cells reside within a fibrous ...

Ischemic heart disease (IHD), also known as coronary artery disease, is a leading cause of death and morbidity in Western ...

Muscle-on-chip systems are three-dimensional human muscle cell bundles cultured on collagen scaffolds. A Stanford University research team sent some of these systems to the International Space Station ...

A new study generated one of the most comprehensive spatially resolved transcriptomic maps of cellular communication between ...

Losing muscle strength is a natural part of aging. At the core of this decline is a drop in the number of muscle stem cells (MuSCs), the specialized cells responsible for maintaining and regenerating ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have made a significant contribution to the understanding of the regeneration of skeletal muscle stem cells, shedding light on the mechanisms underlying muscle ...
