The research team found that a specific muscle protein, known as MEF2C, is significantly reduced in muscle cells with CP.

Human muscle cells are large cells, with a diameter of up to 100 micrometers, or slightly larger than the width of a human hair, and they can grow up to 12 centimeters long (almost 5 inches).

How muscle changes with aging and tries to fight its effects is now better understood at the cellular and molecular level ...

But classical differentiation protocols to create these muscle cells are long, complex and difficult to reproduce. An advanced technique now allows human iPSCs to be converted into striated ...

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 ...

The team leveraged 3D printing and muscle cells derived from humans and mice to grow an artificial structure that pulls concentrically and radially, similar to how the human iris dilates and ...
