A research team has found that specific immune cells can connect with muscle fibers in a lightning-fast, neuron-like way to promote healing. These cells deliver quick pulses of calcium, triggering ...

Mild muscle strains can feel better in a few days, but severe ones might take months to heal. A pulled muscle heals in three ...

The combination of mechanotherapy — the use of mechanical forces to stimulate tissue healing — and anti-inflammatory treatment can help heal damage in aged muscles, according to a new study.

A new multidisciplinary study opens an exciting non-invasive therapeutic avenue for healing muscle injuries in elderly patients. Using a robotic mechanotherapy device on aged muscle, the researchers ...

Studies in mice by Harvard Medical School (HMS) researchers suggest how a class of regulatory T cells (Tregs) that are produced in the gut also play a role in repairing injured muscles and mending ...

Penn Medicine researchers unveiled in a recently published paper that a type of stem cell originating in skeletal muscle cells can turn into bone. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy ...
