Aging has profound effects on human brains at the molecular, cellular, morphological, and functional levels. Due to their postmitotic nature, neurons depend on mitochondrial quality control to ...

Skeletal and cardiac muscle fibres undergo continuous deformation and shortening during contraction, which necessitates a mechanism for force transmission to maintain the structural integrity of the ...

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 ...

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 ...
