In work published in Nature Biotechnology, Rubin and his research group turned to 3D cell culture to take on the problem of generating sufficient satellite cells for regenerative therapies. 2 ...

New mechanism found: Researchers discovered that statins can bind to and activate ryanodine receptors in muscle cells, potentially explaining muscle pain in some patients. Why it matters: Uncovering ...

Scientists have found that the human heart can regenerate muscle cells after a heart ...

Muscle cells contain their own circadian clocks and disrupting them with shift work can have a profound impact on aging, according to the results of a preclinical study carried out by Jeffrey Kelu, ...

A research team has found that specific immune cells can connect with muscle fibers in a lightning-fast, neuron-like way to promote healing. These cells deliver quick pulses of calcium, triggering ...

DECEMBER 3, 2025—(BRONX, NY)—Two related studies published today in Nature Metabolism show that a specialized intracellular recycling mechanism—chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA)—is essential for ...

Researchers at the University of Houston are pushing the boundaries of biomedical innovation with a discovery that could transform treatment for one of cancer's most devastating complications. In a ...

Statins have been transformative for many individuals, by lowering cholesterol and reducing the risk of heart problems and stroke. But statins can also cause muscle weakness and pain and in some cases ...

A compound derived from aged garlic has been found to preserve muscle strength in old age, a discovery that underlines the ...

We all want to know if and how we can come back to form after injury, illness, or a long hiatus. Muscles adapt in response to the environment: They grow when we put in the work and shrink when we stop ...
