Traumatic muscle injury can be associated with volumetric muscle loss (VML), often leading to permanent functional loss.

Musculoskeletal disorders are a primary cause of disability worldwide, especially in aging societies like Japan. As individuals age, reductions in muscle mass and physical activity weaken the body's ...

Japan has approved two stem cell-based therapies for treating Parkinson's disease and heart failure in a world first, through ...

NUS researchers have developed a platform that lets lab-grown muscle tissues train themselves to record-breaking strength, ...

We have identified a macrophage population "Mrep" that plays an essential role in muscle repair. However, in Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), Mrep functions as a pathogenic cell that ...

Researchers at the National University of Singapore have developed a new way to make lab-grown muscles stronger by letting them train themselves, removing a major limitation in biohybrid robotics. The ...

Sarcopenia—reduced muscle mass, strength, and function—is often associated with aging and frequently impacts quality of life in the elderly. Individuals with sarcopenia are also prone to further ...

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, ...

A recent study suggests that these microbes may also influence an important aspect of fitness – muscle strength. Muscle strength is a crucial feature of health for many reasons. It supports our joints ...
