Researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and at Sun Yat-sen University have generated what they claim is the first comprehensive atlas of aging muscles in humans. The team applied single-cell ...

When bones break and there is extreme tissue loss--such as after a car accident or a battlefield injury--current treatments don't often lead to effective healing. But certain stem cells from skeletal ...

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 ...

The first comprehensive cell atlas of aging human muscle reveals the intricate genetic and cellular processes behind muscle deterioration and mechanisms to counteract it. How muscle changes with ...

Neural crest cells are a population of stem cells that invade the embryo in early development. They play a big role in what ...

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 ...
