Childbirth depends not just on hormones, but on the uterus’s ability to sense physical force. Scientists found that pressure ...
Molecular discoveries may help improve treatments for labor and pain. When labor starts, the uterus must produce steady, ...
From Hyrox to Pilates, resistance bands and even yoga, experts explain what actually builds muscles – and why it gets harder ...
The more we move, the more our muscle cells begin to make a memory of that exercise. MIT Technology Review Explains: Let our writers untangle the complex, messy world of technology to help you ...
This paper explores the role of extracellular vesicles in providing extracellular matrix signals for migration of vascular smooth muscle cells. The evidence, based on cell culture experiments and ...
It’s a bizarre sight: With a short burst of light, a sponge-shaped robot scoots across a tiled surface. Flipped on its back, it repeatedly twitches as if doing sit-ups. By tinkering with the light’s ...
In this study, the authors developed an organoid system containing smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs; pacemaker cells), but few enteric neurons. This system generates ...
The population across developed countries is getting older and the associated frailty and debilitation are becoming major health problems. This gradual muscle loss is accelerated by the poor capacity ...
