Muscle-on-chip systems are three-dimensional human muscle cell bundles cultured on collagen scaffolds. A Stanford University research team sent some of these systems to the International Space Station ...

The same model also allows exploration of CICR in neurons, smooth muscle, and immune cells, expanding its clinical impact. With this insight, drug design can now focus on precision control of Ca²⁺ ...

Space exploration activity has been increasing. In turn, researchers are more interested than ever in uncovering more about how space travel affects human health and the progression of disease.

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. Low muscle mass in the ...

The more we move, the more our muscle cells begin to make a memory of that exercise. MIT Technology Review Explains: Let our writers untangle the complex, messy world of technology to help you ...

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is the most common form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy, affecting about 1 in 8,000 people. While it is well known for causing muscle weakness and stiffness, DM1 also ...

Elizabeth Cooney is a cardiovascular disease reporter at STAT, covering heart, stroke, and metabolic conditions. You can reach Liz on Signal at LizC.22. By its name and nature, heart failure doesn’t ...

As muscles age, their cells lose the ability to regenerate and heal after injury. Now, Cornell University researchers have created the most comprehensive portrait to date of how that change, in mice, ...
