Repeated, episodic bouts of skeletal muscle contraction undertaken frequently as structured
exercise training are a potent stimulus for physiological adaptation in many organs …

Decades of research in skeletal muscle physiology have provided multiscale insights into
the structural and functional complexity of this important anatomical tissue, designed to …

The ability of cells to deal with different types of stressful situations in a precise and
coordinated manner is key for survival and involves various signalling networks. Over the …

Skeletal muscle has an extraordinary regenerative capacity due to the activity of tissue-
specific muscle stem cells. Consequently, these cells have received the most attention in …

Skeletal muscle comprises 30–40% of the weight of a healthy human body and is required
for voluntary movements in humans. Mature skeletal muscle is formed by multinuclear cells …

Inflammation is a natural host defense mechanism that protects the body from pathogenic
microorganisms. A growing body of research suggests that inflammation is a key factor in …

Tryptophan is an essential nutrient required to generate vitamin B3 (niacin), which is mainly
involved in energy metabolism and DNA production. Alterations in tryptophan metabolism …

Muscle stem cells (MuSCs) are essential for the growth, maintenance, and repair of skeletal
muscle. In the emerging area of cultured meat, meat products are manufactured with MuSCs …

Isolating and maintaining the appropriate stem cell for large scale cell culture is essential in
tissue engineering or food production. For bovine satellite cells an optimized isolation and …

Myoblast fusion is essential for muscle development and regeneration. Yet, it remains poorly
understood how mononucleated myoblasts fuse with preexisting fibers. We demonstrate that …
