In work published in Nature Biotechnology, Rubin and his research group turned to 3D cell culture to take on the problem of generating sufficient satellite cells for regenerative therapies. 2 ...

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 ...

- 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) ...

When bones break and there is extreme tissue loss--such as after a car accident or a battlefield injury--current treatments don't often lead to effective healing. But certain stem cells from skeletal ...

Engineers developed a method to grow artificial muscle tissue that twitches and flexes in multiple, coordinated directions. These tissues could be useful for building 'biohybrid' robots powered by ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) have found that two of the most frequently administered stem cell therapies, which are often used interchangeably, actually contain ...

A muscle patch crafted from stem cells has improved cardiac function in monkeys with heart disease. It is now being tested in a small number of people, with early results from the first recipient ...
