Vascular calcification is a manifestation of cardiovascular disease (CVD) caused by abnormal deposition of minerals in the vascular system because of a phosphate–calcium imbalance. This condition can ...

Human bronchial smooth muscle cells (HBSMCs) were obtained from Procell Life Science and Technology Co., Ltd (Wuhan, China) and cultured on DMEM that contained 10% foetal bovine serum and 1% ...

Muscle-on-chip systems are three-dimensional human muscle cell bundles cultured on collagen scaffolds. A Stanford University research team sent some of these systems to the International Space Station ...

Losing muscle strength is a natural part of aging. At the core of this decline is a drop in the number of muscle stem cells (MuSCs), the specialized cells responsible for maintaining and regenerating ...

A new study from UC San Francisco shows how certain cells in the brain may cause aneurysms to weaken and rupture. It helps ...

The population across developed countries is getting older and the associated frailty and debilitation are becoming major health problems. This gradual muscle loss is accelerated by the poor capacity ...

Muscle tissue from aged mice seven days after injury. Left: Aged mice with normal NDRG1 levels show slower regeneration with smaller muscle fibers. Right: Aged mice in which NDRG1 was recently blocked ...

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 ...
