A simple 5-minute test called “phase angle” can predict memory problems, especially in women, by measuring muscle cell health Women with higher phase angles had 72% lower odds of cognitive impairment, ...

Muscle-on-chip systems are three-dimensional human muscle cell bundles cultured on collagen scaffolds. A Stanford University research team sent some of these systems to the International Space Station ...

The population across developed countries is getting older and the associated frailty and debilitation are becoming major health problems. This gradual muscle loss is accelerated by the poor capacity ...

Rhabdomyolysis is a condition in which muscle damage—often caused by drug intake—can lead to impaired kidney function and ...

A research team has found that specific immune cells can connect with muscle fibers in a lightning-fast, neuron-like way to promote healing. These cells deliver quick pulses of calcium, triggering ...

The more we move, the more our muscle cells begin to make a memory of that exercise. MIT Technology Review Explains: Let our writers untangle the complex, messy world of technology to help you ...

The population across developed countries is getting older and the associated frailty and debilitation are becoming major health problems. This gradual muscle loss is accelerated by the poor capacity ...

As muscles age, their cells lose the ability to regenerate and heal after injury. Now, Cornell University researchers have created the most comprehensive portrait to date of how that change, in mice, ...
