Muscles are formed by the merging of many small myoblasts into larger myofibers. This fusion of mononucleated myoblasts with a single nucleus into multinucleated myofibers with multiple nuclei is an ...

This course takes integrative approaches to exploring architecture, physiology and mechanics of vertebrate skeletal muscle as the main driver of movements in organisms including humans. Combining ...

The colorful threads in this image are muscle fibers. This spotted rainbow illustrates a potential gene therapy approach to treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) – a rare, debilitating, and fatal ...

Stem cell biology; regeneration; skeletal muscle regeneration and aging; skeletal muscle stem cells and gene therapy; growth factors and signal transduction; mouse molecular genetics; muscular ...

For millions of people, losing muscle isn't just about weakness; it's about losing independence. Whether caused by Duchenne ...

We are interested in the biogenesis of skeletal muscle stem cells and understanding the failure of these cells to maintain the skeletal musculature in neuromuscular diseases. An additional interest is ...

A team at the University of Houston College of Pharmacy has discovered a possible therapeutic approach to repair injured ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a soft artificial muscle that mimics the structure ...

A team has discovered a possible therapeutic approach to repair injured muscles either from aging or degenerative muscle disorders.

Researchers have discovered a potential therapeutic target in muscular disorders by identifying a previously unrecognized ...

Her research questions revolve around what molecular and epigenetic mechanisms regulate skeletal muscle proliferation, differentiation, and atrophy. She uses comparative biology to understand the ...

For millions of people, losing muscle isn't just about weakness; it's about losing independence. Whether caused by Duchenne muscular dystrophy, aging ...
