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

Antibody–siRNA conjugates (ARCs) are a type of promising drug modalities for cancer therapy. However, initial reports of ARCs present the gene knockdown effect only in limited tissues (e.g., muscles) ...

Phytoecdysteroids, which are structurally similar or identical to insect molting hormones, produce a range of effects in mammals, including increasing growth and physical performance. To study the ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have discovered a previously unknown molecule that may explain why people with type 2 diabetes often suffer from muscle weakness and muscle loss—a condition that ...

Many of the contractile functions of muscle cells are enabled by myocardin–SRF- and MRTF–SRF-regulated genes 57. Genes affecting actin dynamics and cell motility.

As embodied carbon becomes a major concern in construction, engineers are rethinking material choices, modeling tools, and ...

Graphical Abstract Multiple layers of vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMCs) are present in blood vessels forming the media of the vessel wall. vSMCs provide a vessel wall structure, enabling it to ...

After the first observations of life under the microscope, it took two centuries of research before the 'cell theory', the idea that all living things are composed of cells or their products, was ...

A new way to grow stem cells may help them release more of the signaling proteins they use to repair tissue, potentially ...

Scientists have developed a technique that aligns stem cells into a single sheet, resulting in a marked increase in the secretion of signaling proteins which help repair tissue and regulate the immune ...

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