Muscle stem cells are adult stem cells, present in skeletal muscle tissue, which can self-renew and are capable of giving rise to skeletal muscle cells. These stem cells are activated in response ...

Recently, it has been demonstrated that overexpression by vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) of the versican variant V3, which lacks GAG chains, induces elastin synthesis and fiber deposition in ...

Engineering tissue-like scaffolds that can mimic the microstructure, architecture, topology, and mechanical properties of native tissues while offering an excellent environment for cellular growth has ...

Three iso-energetic and iso-nitrogenous diets were fed to finishing pigs for 28 days to investigate the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and ubiquitin–proteasome signaling pathways of skeletal ...
