Scientists have developed a specially formulated bioink, which contains microparticles engineered for sustained delivery of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). This delivery enhances the formation ...

Skeletal muscle tissue can self-repair minor injuries, but significant muscle loss leads to non-functional scar tissue. Current treatments mainly involve autologous muscle transfer. Tissue engineering ...

The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. However, the physiological role of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) through the ryanodine receptor ...

The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.

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 ...
