Engineered BiTE molecule draws T cells to eliminate FAP+ modulated smooth muscle cells, reducing plaque burden across mouse atherosclerosis models.

Using gene editing in a preclinical model, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center blocked the symptoms of a rare smooth muscle disease before they developed. Their findings, published in ...

A study at Lund University reveals that traumatic brain injury alters the small vessels in the brain, resulting in an accumulation of amyloid beta—a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. The findings ...

- 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) ...

Echinacoside, or ECH, a naturally occurring compound derived from certain plants, eased the signs and symptoms of PAH in rats in a study.

Aging muscles heal more slowly after injury - a frustrating reality familiar to many older adults. A new UCLA study conducted ...

Skeletal muscle stem cells in hibernating Syrian hamsters preserve their ability to function by suppressing their activation ...

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 ...
