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

- 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) ...

Infectious agents can cause muscle twitching and spasms, too. The most commonly known is probably tetanus, which causes a phenomenon called lockjaw, where the neck and jaw muscles contract to the ...

A new discovery may explain why so many people abandon cholesterol-lowering statins because of muscle pain and weakness.

In a recent study published in NPJ Microgravity, scientists explore the impact of spaceflight on human vascular smooth muscle cells at the transcriptomic level. Study: Spaceflight effects on human ...
