A team of researchers has developed a simple lab-based system for growing human muscle cells that are capable of vigorously contracting. A team of researchers at Tohoku University have developed a ...

Space exploration activity has been increasing. In turn, researchers are more interested than ever in uncovering more about how space travel affects human health and the progression of disease.

Researchers at the International Space Station National Laboratory (ISS National Lab) and the University of Florida have modeled age-related muscle loss by using tissue chips in microgravity.

As I’m typing these words, I don’t think about the synchronized muscle contractions that allow my fingers to dance across the keyboard. Or the back muscles that unconsciously tighten to hold myself ...

ETH Zurich Professor Ori Bar- Nur and his team grow muscle cells in the laboratory. In this case, they are mouse cells, but the researchers are also interested in human and cow cells. Promising ...

A groundbreaking development has come from researchers at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan. They've created a biohybrid hand, a fusion of lab-grown muscle tissue and mechanical ...

The top row of photos show a microscopic view of healthy muscle fibers stained to reveal a variety of irregularities, while the bottom row shows the same but for muscle fibers afflicted by the disease ...
