A research team has found that specific immune cells can connect with muscle fibers in a lightning-fast, neuron-like way to promote healing. These cells deliver quick pulses of calcium, triggering ...

- Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, are specialized cells designed for contraction and force production. Skeletal Muscle Cells: These cells are long, cylindrical, and have a striated (or striped) ...

Researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and at Sun Yat-sen University have generated what they claim is the first comprehensive atlas of aging muscles in humans. The team applied single-cell ...

Researchers have created a magnet-containing gel mat that simulates the mechanical forces exerted on muscle cells during exercise. The novel ‘workout mat’ might assist in testing treatments for people ...
