UCLA researchers have developed a novel system to measure the communication between stem cell-derived motor neurons and muscle cells in a Petri dish.

Results from a new clinical trial show that treating heart attack patients with an infusion of their own heart-derived cells helps damaged hearts re-grow healthy muscle. Patients who underwent the stem cell procedure demonstrated a significant reduction in the size of the scar left on the heart muscle by a heart attack. Patients also experienced a sizable increase in healthy heart muscle ...

A link between exercise and muscle health may exist, scientists at the University of Illinois have found. According to Medical News Today, researchers have found that an adult stem cell present in muscle responds to exercise.

University of Illinois researchers determined that an adult stem cell present in muscle is responsive to exercise, a discovery that may provide a link between exercise and muscle health. The findings could lead to new therapeutic techniques using these cells to rehabilitate injured muscle and prevent or restore muscle loss with age. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in skeletal muscle have been ...

Washington, Feb 7: Scientists have found that an adult stem cell present in muscle is responsive to exercise – a discovery that could lead to new therapeutic techniques to treat injured muscle and prevent or restore muscle loss with age.
