In the field of reconstructive surgery, free functional muscle transfer (FFMT) is a transformative procedure that restores movement for patients with facial paralysis. Surgeon Robert Texeira, MD, ...

Researchers have developed a novel bioink that uses a sustained-release hormone to promote the growth and regeneration of 3D-printed muscle tissues. Their approach opens the door to developing new ...

Harvard stem cell biologists have pioneered a groundbreaking 3D organoid culture method for generating large numbers of adult skeletal muscle satellite cells, also known as muscle stem cells, in vitro ...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes paralysis in roughly one million people worldwide, with incident cases rising yearly. Beyond motor and sensory deficits, patients frequently experience muscle atrophy, ...

Study uncovers a polyphenol's mechanism in enhancing mitochondrial calcium uptake and muscle bioenergetics during aging. Study: Mitochondrial calcium uptake declines during aging and is directly ...

Neuromuscular disorders can be caused by hereditary or acquired genetic mutations, impairing the function of skeletal muscles: those under voluntary control. These diseases cause muscles to weaken and ...

Functional fitness is probably the most practical type of exercise you can do – though you're likely not alone if you're not quite sure what it is. While we can get caught up in trying to attempt ever ...

Muscle cells contain their own circadian clocks and disrupting them with shift work can have a profound impact on aging, according to the results of a preclinical study carried out by Jeffrey Kelu, ...

Research reveals strong connections between muscle strength and cognitive function in patients with COPD, highlighting the potential for rehabilitation strategies. There is a relationship between ...
