If body signals that skeletal muscle needs replacing, the stem cells take that route ... with other signals that turn on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which together build new ...

COVID-19 directly impacts the skeletal muscles or worsens already existing ... which involves viral binding to THE endothelial cells of the blood‐brain barrier (BBB), an infection of immune ...

Our group is focused on understanding the role of endothelial and stem cells in heart and skeletal muscle diseases, metabolic regulation as well as in cancer. The major interest is in the endothelial ...

"We also have c-kit+ cells in the heart but we don't know whether they are similar to those in skeletal muscle," Linke said. In the second study (abstract 3796), researchers tracked endothelial ...

Skeletal muscle stem cells, or satellite cells (SCs), are indispensable for repairing damaged muscle and are key targets for treating muscle diseases. In healthy uninjured muscle, these reserve ...

Skeletal muscle is joined to bones. Its cells contract to make bones move and joints bend. Skeletal muscles always come in pairs, just like trainers. But there is a little bit more to it than that.

Skeletal muscles are composed of very long, thin cells that include the full complement of organelles needed for general cellular functions. In addition, more than 90 percent of the total volume ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a way of mapping the distribution of carnitine in skeletal muscle cells. Carnitine is a compound that helps transport fatty acids and ...
