Building functional human muscle in the laboratory has long been a goal of regenerative medicine, but one stubborn obstacle ...

An international team has produced the first high-resolution 3D image of the sarcomere, the basic contractile unit of skeletal and heart muscle cells, by using electron cryo-tomography. Electron ...

A new 3D model shows that Duchenne gene therapy can repair muscle fibers but fails to shut down the signals that drive scarring.

Researchers from the University of Southern Denmark investigated how eight weeks of high-intensity interval training affect the structure of mitochondria – the parts of muscle cells that produce ...

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

A muscle biopsy is a minor surgical procedure. Doctors order them to help diagnose certain diseases that involve muscles. During a muscle biopsy, a small piece of tissue is removed from a specific ...

Building functional human muscle in the laboratory has long been a goal of regenerative medicine, but one stubborn obstacle remains: real muscle is not just a mass of cells. Its strength and function ...
