Researchers typically create organoid models for other biological systems with pluripotent stem cells, but the Harvard team began with readily accessible myoblasts, which satellite cells differentiate ...

The mechanical environment of smooth muscle cells and the surrounding extracellular matrix orchestrates vascular tone, tissue remodelling and pathology. Smooth muscle cells reside within a fibrous ...

For the first time, scientists have succeeded in artificially mimicking the ion signaling of heart muscle cells. To succeed, ...

When bones break and there is extreme tissue loss--such as after a car accident or a battlefield injury--current treatments don't often lead to effective healing. But certain stem cells from skeletal ...

Our biceps and our brain cells may have more in common than previously thought. New research led by the Lippincott-Schwartz Lab shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those ...
