Mitochondria are cell organelles surrounded by a double membrane. In addition to numerous essential functions in 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 ...

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.

Figure S2 illustrates the structure of a N 4 C-ethyl-N 4 C interstrand cross-link placed in a -CG- sequence and characterization of a -CG- cross-linked plasmid. Figure S3 displays repair efficiencies ...

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 ...

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play a vital role in endothelial repair following vascular injury by maintaining the integrity of endothelium. As EPCs home to endothelial injury sites, they may ...

Exposing muscle cells to microgravity mirrors sarcopenia, helping researchers understand how muscle cells weaken with age.
