Muscle Cell NewsMuscle Cell News is an online publication and email newsletter dedicated to the latest research into smooth, skeletal, and cardiac muscle cells.
Every day, our editorial team sifts through the most recent scientific literature to help keep researchers and medical professionals current. Muscle Cell News is a publication covering the three types of muscle cells: cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle. We cover a broad range of topics, including cell culturing, muscle regeneration, and musculoskeletal disorders.
