Quiet Nerves' new once-daily capsule combines magnesium glycinate, alpha lipoic acid and coenzyme Q10 with three ...

Every movement we make, from blinking to sprinting, depends on the ability of muscle fibers to contract in a rapid and ...

When inner and outer cell layers of sepals—the leaf-like plant organs that cover and protect the flower bud before it ...

One of the many ways obesity harms the human body is through damage to skeletal muscle. This progressive muscle decline, also known as sarcopenia, reduces strength, mobility and the ability to live ...

Losing muscle strength is a natural part of aging. At the core of this decline is a drop in the number of muscle stem cells (MuSCs), the specialized cells responsible for maintaining and regenerating ...

This study aimed to determine the effect of senescent vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) on foam cell formation and macrophage phagocytic activity in atherosclerotic conditions. The results ...

Atherosclerosis is characterized by the buildup of lipid-containing plaque in blood vessels including coronary arteries and is a leading cause of death worldwide. The mainstay of therapy is ...

This study proposes a perforated, soft millirobot with dual functions: in situ mechanostimulation to enhance cell functionality and local cell delivery. Following protein modification and silica ...

Ang II (angiotensin II) causes hypertension and vascular inflammation both directly and indirectly via cytokines, including TNFα (tumor necrosis factor-α). In vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), Ang ...

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of mortality among non-communicable diseases worldwide. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), as the predominant cellular component of the ...

This important study highlights the role of MIRO1 in regulating mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in smooth muscle cells, a process that appears necessary to sustain their proliferation. Overall ...
