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 ...

Muscle stem cells, which are crucial for building new muscle, don’t work as well as we get older, but giving them an ...

Understanding how muscle deteriorates could help researchers extend the human health span. “When you ask most older adults what their biggest fear is, it’s not dying — it’s loss of functional ...

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 ...

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, ...

Stem cells are among the most revolutionary discoveries in modern medicine. Their incredible ability to transform into ...

B cells are white blood cells that form a core part of the body's adaptive immune system, enabling it to recognize specific infections, remember them, and mount a targeted response by producing ...

Before Adam Sharples became a molecular physiologist studying muscle memory, he played professional rugby. Over his years as an athlete, he noticed that he and his teammates seemed to return to form ...
