New lab model simulates effects of exercise on muscles Date: March 2, 2022 Source: Tohoku University Summary: A team of researchers has developed a simple lab-based system for growing human muscle ...

Using a muscle lab-on-chip model onboard the ISS, the researchers examined 3D-bioengineered myobundles derived from young and older adult donors under microgravity.

Abnormally high blood sugar (glucose) levels can result in Type 2 diabetes when things go awry with the body's skeletal muscle, which plays a key role in regulating glucose.

A stem-cell-based "organ-on-a-chip" model of ALS mimics early biological changes seen in the degenerative disease.

Through ISSInternational Space Station National Lab-sponsored research, University ... Accelerated model of age-related muscle loss in microgravity could lead to new sarcopenia treatments ...

The present study employed murine models, cell cultures, and various molecular biology techniques to derive idSCs from skeletal muscle tissue and examine its ability to self-renew and proliferate.

Lab-Grown Muscle Launched Into Space to Learn What Happens to Astronauts ... Some 40% of the human body by weight is skeletal muscle—the kind that moves limbs and joints and holds the body upright.

Scientists have transformed cancer cells into healthy muscle tissue in the lab using CRISPR gene-editing technology — and they hope new cancer treatments can be built on the back of this experiment.
