This is an important and solid study that examines the role of TFAM, a protein that helps maintain mtDNA, in mtDNA mutator mice. The authors have demonstrated that TFAM's counteractive role in mtDNA ...

Newborns with heart complications can rely on their newly developed immune systems to regenerate cardiac tissues, but adults aren't so lucky.

New research reveals the danger of ‘fatty muscles’, but there are steps you can take to protect yourself against this hard-to ...

Humans with relatively more fat hidden in and around their muscles face a higher risk of death or hospitalization from heart ...

"This method paves the way for tissue regeneration, non-invasive light stimulation, and host integration capabilities in cardiac therapy and beyond." Three-dimensional bioprinted tissues composed ...

Researchers have developed a way of bioprinting tissues that change shape as a result of cell-generated forces, in the same way that it happens in biological tissues during organ development.

Cardiac muscle is striated like skeletal muscle, but is controlled by both the autonomic nervous system and its own pacemaker cells, causing it to contract automatically and rhythmically. Weak ...

Effective resistance training stimulates the creation of muscle fibers. First, the exercise breaks down muscle protein, which is called "catabolism." That causes the tissue to rebuild ... Phillips SM.

In a nutshell Fat hidden between muscle fibers may predict heart problems better than traditional measures like BMI or weight, especially in women. This type of fat can be detected through specialized ...
