In a recent study published in NPJ Microgravity, scientists explore the impact of spaceflight on human vascular smooth muscle cells at the transcriptomic level. Study: Spaceflight effects on human ...

- 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) ...

Muscle cells contain their own circadian clocks and disrupting them with shift work can have a profound impact on aging, according to the results of a preclinical study carried out by Jeffrey Kelu, ...

University of Delaware’s Mona Batish is a molecular biologist. She studies circular RNAs formed as a result of so-called molecular mistakes that occur when a strand of RNA — the ribonucleic acid that ...

Multiple follistatin domains within FS-344 enable it to interact with various members of the TGF-β superfamily, including activins, growth differentiation factors (GDFs), and myostatin. These ...

Whether it's riding a bike or knitting a sweater, there are some tasks you do without thinking. These are commonly associated ...

I just read a bizarre paper about statins. My first reaction was pure wonder: “This is fascinating—biology is unbelievable!” My second reaction, a heartbeat later, was more practical: “How do I get ...

The impact of circadian disruption on muscle health and aging has been uncovered. A research team at King’s College London (UK) has uncovered the intrinsic and extrinsic effects that circadian ...

Calcium is the essential "on switch" for muscle contractions and a critical partner in maintaining hydration during hard ...
