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 ...

Building functional human muscle in the laboratory has long been a goal of regenerative medicine, but one stubborn obstacle remains: real muscle is not just a mass of cells. Its strength and function ...

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

Mrep accumulates in damaged muscle tissue and promotes muscle regeneration by acting on muscle satellite cells through activin A. While Mrep performs beneficial functions in normal muscle repair, in ...

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 ...

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