Skeletal muscle is one of the most abundant tissue types in the human body, but has proven difficult to produce in large quantities in the lab. Unlike other cell types, such as heart cells, neurons ...

Muscles are remarkably effective systems for generating controlled force, and engineers developing hardware for robots or ...

Researchers have identified the role of the large Maf transcription factor family in regulating fast twitch muscle fibers. A mouse model lacking Maf expression in the skeletal muscles exhibited a ...

Every movement your body makes depends on a microscopic chemical balance within individual cells. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison developed a high-sensitivity method to analyze ...

Scientists at the University of Minnesota have succeeded in almost completely regenerating skeletal muscle in a mouse model of muscular dystrophy, using genetically unmodified mouse pluripotent stem ...
