- Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, are specialized cells designed for contraction and force production. Skeletal Muscle Cells: These cells are long, cylindrical, and have a striated (or striped) ...
Scientists are using in vitro skeletal muscle engineering to gain a better understanding of the complex genetic and environmental factors underlying diabetes, putting lab-grown, healthy skeletal ...
The misconception that muscle can be lean or bulky lies in its appearance. “When people (say ‘lean’), they’re usually ...
The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. However, the physiological role of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) through the ryanodine receptor ...
In 2016, sarcopenia was recognized as a disease and given an ICD-10-CM code (M62.84). 3,4 However, the originating causes of sarcopenia are largely unknown and have no clinical treatments at present, ...
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 ...
Unraveling the complexities of muscle repair in diabetes: A call for targeted research and therapies
In a recent review published in the journal Cell Metabolism, researchers elucidated mechanisms and evaluated therapies for impaired skeletal muscle regeneration in diabetes, identifying research gaps ...
