Stem cells (SCs) maintain tissue homeostasis and repair wounds. Despite marked variation
in tissue architecture and regenerative demands, SCs often follow similar paradigms in …

Until recently, there has been less demand for and interest in female-specific sport and
exercise science data. As a result, the vast majority of high-quality sport and exercise …

During aging and menopausal transition in women, a progressive muscle degeneration (ie
decrease in quality and muscle function) occurs. This muscle dysfunction, caused by …

Cultured muscle tissue‐based protein products, also known as cultured meat, are produced
through in vitro myogenesis involving muscle stem cell culture and differentiation, and …

Sex-based differences in human disease are caused in part by the levels of endogenous
sex steroid hormones which regulate mitochondrial metabolism. This review updates a …

Estrogen is an essential sex steroid hormone that functions primarily in female reproductive
system, as well as in a variety of tissues and organs with pleiotropic effects, such as in …

Human menopause is widely associated with impaired skeletal muscle quality and
significant metabolic dysfunction. These observations pose significant challenges to the …

Skeletal muscle weakness occurs with aging and in females this is compounded by the loss
of estrogen with ovarian failure. Estrogen deficiency mediates decrements in muscle …

Satellite cells support adult skeletal muscle fiber adaptations to loading in numerous ways.
The fusion of satellite cells, driven by cell‐autonomous and/or extrinsic factors, contributes …
