Researchers at Cincinnati Children's have discovered that macrophages, a type of immune cell, connect with muscle fibers to promote rapid healing. This neuron-like mechanism involves the release of ...
At the microscopic scale, the process behind muscle repair becomes increasingly complex. Healing also varies depending on the type of damage involved, as the body responds very differently to an acute ...
At the cellular level, the mechanics of how muscle tissue repair occurs gets complicated. There are significant differences ...
The sliding filament model underlies all types of muscle contractions. Here are the three main types: Concentric Contraction: ...
A research team has found that specific immune cells can connect with muscle fibers in a lightning-fast, neuron-like way to ...
A drug candidate found to protect nerve cells damaged by motor neuron disease (MND), could offer new hope to people living ...

Our bodies’ nerve cells are important for transmitting electrical and chemical information between different parts of the brain and between the brain and other parts of the nervous system. One of the ...
Scientists have identified the first compound that eliminates the ongoing degeneration of upper motor neurons that become diseased and are a key contributor to ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), a ...
