Thirty marks the spot. Starting at this age, we begin to lose approximately three to eight percent of muscle mass per decade. With it, we also lose strength and mobility. Left unaddressed, this loss ...

As we age, the muscles we rely on for daily activities tend to become less reliable. With enough decline, even normal movements such as getting out of bed become risky.

Stem cells that live in the muscle impart its ability to regenerate. After an injury, muscle stem cells activate and must expand in number to repair and make new muscle (marked by dystrophin in white) ...

The production of cultured meat depends on the isolation, expansion, and differentiation of animal stem cells into edible ...

Scientists discover that muscles repair themselves by moving thousands of internal nuclei, a rapid process that is key after ...

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 ...

Creating mini mitochondria factories helped recharge damaged cells in a dish, providing proof-of-concept work that could pave ...

In research, induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are derived from skin, urine, or blood samples and developed into other cells, like heart tissue, that researchers want to study. Because of the ...

With a Kobe University-developed procedure, induced pluripotent stem cells can now be frozen directly in their dishes without ...
