Skeletal muscle tissue can self-repair minor injuries, but significant muscle loss leads to non-functional scar tissue. Current treatments mainly involve autologous muscle transfer. Tissue engineering ...
Vertebrate skeletal tissues exhibit remarkable diversity in both their mechanical properties and evolutionary adaptations. These tissues are finely tuned composite materials where a combination of ...
Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have shown that the protein Musashi-2 (Msi2) plays a key role in the regulation of mass and metabolic processes in skeletal muscle. They ...
