The machine learning model, trained to distinguish between stem cells and adult muscle cells, created a real-time quantitative index that gives a numerical score to each individual cell, based on ...

Thus, the PPFs and muscle connective tissue are critical for diaphragm development, and mutations in PPF-derived fibroblasts are a source of CDH.

Further, they discovered that a particular circular RNA involved in muscle development, called circular RNA nuclear factor IX (circNFIX), may be partly responsible for this phenomenon.

Skeletal muscle (SM) insulin resistance is central to the development of diabetes. Adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is inhibited in SM of fetuses born to obese mothers.

Knee pain and severity were linked to quadriceps weakness over time but had no impact on the rate of deterioration among patients with or at risk for knee OA.
