- 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) ...

Our skeletal muscles, which link to bones and enable us to move, have a remarkable ability to regenerate after they've suffered an injury. Scientists have now developed a cutting edge microscopy tool ...

Skeletal muscle stem cells in hibernating Syrian hamsters preserve their ability to function by suppressing their activation ...

Researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and at Sun Yat-sen University have generated what they claim is the first comprehensive atlas of aging muscles in humans. The team applied single-cell ...

Mouse muscle cells like those seen here can grow up to 20 micrometers across, or roughly 3.5 times smaller than the width of a human hair.

In a finding that opens the door to the development of targeted therapies for various muscle disorders, newly published research identifies key mechanisms of skeletal muscle regeneration and growth of ...
