Patients with degenerative diseases that attack skeletal muscle tissues, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, may soon benefit from novel stem cell therapies. A study has demonstrated how new ...

A new study has unveiled the crucial role of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) in skeletal ...

The skeleton allows movement, provides support and protection for vital organs and makes blood cells. Skeletal muscles move the bones in the body. The skeletal system is made from bones and joints.

Researchers have developed a regenerative medicine method that successfully grafts myoblasts onto healthy muscle, boosting ...

Our research group is investigating the mechanisms that regulate skeletal muscle regeneration, focusing on skeletal muscle stem cells. We are interested in the biogenesis of skeletal muscle stem cells ...

“This study is important because it looks at the types of cells that regenerate broken bones, the skeletal stem cells, and how they, in turn, are affected by aging.” To investigate the molecular ...

The team, led by Giuseppe Intini, a bone biologist at the University of Pittsburgh, first compared the cell composition of the calvarial suture—which joins the bilateral bones in the roof of the skull ...
