A new research paper was published in Volume 18 of Aging-US on May 15, 2026, titled “Extracellular vesicles released by ...

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 ...

Space exploration activity has been increasing. In turn, researchers are more interested than ever in uncovering more about how space travel affects human health and the progression of disease.

Researchers typically create organoid models for other biological systems with pluripotent stem cells, but the Harvard team began with readily accessible myoblasts, which satellite cells differentiate ...

The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. However, the physiological role of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) through the ryanodine receptor ...

For the first time, scientists have succeeded in artificially mimicking the ion signaling of heart muscle cells. To succeed, ...

Scientists at the University of California, Irvine's School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences have discovered how muscle stem cells "flip a switch" to rebuild damaged muscle – a finding that could ...
