In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be ...

Researchers at Tohoku University have discovered that an oral drug called MA-5 can improve both heart and muscle problems in ...

Transition from healthy to diseased state is a cell-type-specific process, influenced by neighboring cells and resulting in functionally meaningful differences between pulmonary artery adventitial ...

These results suggest that suppression of cell traction force and enhanced force polarity might be key factors in VSMC differentiation induced by low serum culture.

Data show that follistatin gene therapy using proteolipid vehicles increases muscle mass, body weight, and grip strength in a preclinical model Publication details the development of the Entos ...

Cells are the building blocks that form all the tissues and organs of the body — and now, scientists have an estimate of just how many individual cells the human body contains.

1. Introduction Census is a fast and fully automated hierarchical cell-type identification method in R for single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq). Briefly, Census implements a collection of hierarchically ...

However, less research has been done on muscle loss and sarcopenia, especially on the beneficial effects of WPPs. To the best of our knowledge, these experiments were mainly carried out in muscle ...

Together, our results establish a novel role for desmin in cell-matrix adhesion, an essential process for strength transmission, satellite cell migration and muscle regeneration. Our study links the ...

A team of researchers at Tohoku University have developed a simple lab-based system for growing human muscle cells that are capable of vigorously contracting.
