Researchers have discovered that a key protein controls how stem cells 'choose' to become either skeletal muscle cells that move limbs, or smooth muscle cells that support blood vessels. The results ...

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 ...

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 ...

Skeletal muscle is the type of muscle that controls movement. Problems with these muscles can be minor, life-threatening, or ongoing problems that make it hard to perform basic daily activities.

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 ...

To work toward getting around this issue, researchers used parabolic flights to simulate microgravity conditions, then 3D ...
