The retinoblastoma protein (Rb), a key regulator of cell cycle progression, can bind the transcription factor E2F converting it from a positive transcriptional factor capable of driving cells into S ...
In a preclinical study, researchers identified and characterized 18 new compounds (agonists) that activate bitter taste receptor subtype TAS2R5 to promote relaxation of human airway smooth muscle ...
Although a biphasic dependence of cell migration speed on cell-substratum adhesiveness has been predicted theoretically, experimental data directly demonstrating a relationship between these two ...
The film explores the muscular system of the human body, detailing the roles and functions of the three types of muscles: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Skeletal muscles, which are voluntary and work ...
Muscle-on-chip systems are three-dimensional human muscle cell bundles cultured on collagen scaffolds. A Stanford University research team sent some of these systems to the International Space Station ...
How muscle changes with ageing, and tries to fight its effects, is now better understood at the cellular and molecular level with the first comprehensive atlas of ageing muscles in humans. Researchers ...
The muscular system works to control the movement of our body and internal organs. Muscle tissue contains something called muscle fibers. Muscle fibers consist of a single muscle cell. They help to ...
Repeated exercise, or wasting, can change the way key genes work.
