Moreover, we did not observe coexistence of COX-positive and -negative mitochondria within single cells. These results ... and confined into different organelles within single cells.

The researchers examined muscle biopsies to determine two key ... a process that helps produce ATP. Produced by organelles within cells called mitochondria, ATP provides the chemical energy ...

Cell fusion is a process in which uninuclear cells combine to share organelles and cytosolic components by merging ... Indeed, the placenta, bone, and muscle rely on cell fusion for proper organ ...

This influx of calcium at the contact site attracts and activates a kinase called CaMKII, a protein known to be important in ...

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances in ...

A patch made from lab-grown muscle cells boosted heart function in monkeys with cardiovascular disease and is now being tested in humans ...

Grafting patches of lab-grown muscle to the surface of the heart could offer a lifeline for people waiting for a transplant.

New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmitting signals in ...

whose lab focuses on repairing damaged heart muscle with stem-cell therapy. Because these particles are extremely small, the scientists created a technique they called near-field electrophysiology ...
