In a recent study published in Nature Biotechnology, a team of researchers used skeletal muscle tissue to obtain in vitro-derived satellite cells or idSCs. They then transplanted the idSCs into ...

Ligaments and tendons are two main types of connective tissues that help the muscular-skeletal system produce movements. The muscles contract to pull on the bones to produce movements. Joints are ...

Harvard stem cell biologists have pioneered a groundbreaking 3D organoid culture method for generating large numbers of adult skeletal muscle satellite ... with human tissue is difficult, and ...

We carry out microscopy projects for researchers at many starting points ... molds in dry ice or liquid-nitrogen-cooled 2-methyl butane after drying tissue is essential to good morphology. Some ...

“Skeletal tissue engineering goes back as far as the early 1960s when Konigsberg used chicken embryonic stem cells to ...

Skeletal muscles ... when the arm straightens. Muscles can only contract and pull bones - they never push them. The movement of muscles and structure of muscle tissue could be looked at in more ...

Long-term use of skeletal muscle relaxants (SMRs) for chronic pain is only effective for certain conditions, such as painful spasms, painful cramps, and neck pain, according to a review published ...

The term fascia was originally used to describe a sheet or band of soft connective tissue that attaches, surrounds and separates internal organs and skeletal muscles. Advancing research on the ...

Boyden’s lab invented expansion microscopy in 2015. The technique requires embedding tissue into an absorbent polymer and breaking apart the proteins that normally hold tissue together.

Calcineurin fine tunes the balance between proliferation and differentiation of Notch-responsive progenitors in the pancreatic ducts to enable beta cell regeneration in zebrafish.
