Muscle-on-chip systems are three-dimensional human muscle cell bundles cultured on collagen scaffolds. A Stanford University research team sent some of these systems to the International Space Station ...

Biohybrid robots work by combining biological components like muscles, plant material, and even fungi with non-biological materials. While we are pretty good at making the non-biological parts work, ...

The film discusses the human skeleton and muscles through the perspective of a college student explaining to his younger brother. It covers the structure and function of bones, including their ...

Muscles make up nearly 40% of the human body and power every move we make, from a child's first steps to recovery after injury. For some, however, muscle development goes awry, leading to weakness, ...

The film explores the muscular system of the human body, detailing the roles and functions of the three types of muscles: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Skeletal muscles, which are voluntary and work ...

The mechanism for muscle stem cells repair could inspire therapeutics for muscle loss caused by injury, aging and weight-loss ...

Building functional human muscle in the laboratory has long been a goal of regenerative medicine, but one stubborn obstacle ...

Your muscles, brain and how human feet evolved all play a part in why you can’t wiggle individual toes one by one. Here's how ...

A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a scissor gesture has been created. The researchers used thin strings of lab-grown muscle tissue bundled into sushilike rolls to give the fingers enough ...

The more we move, the more our muscle cells begin to make a memory of that exercise. MIT Technology Review Explains: Let our writers untangle the complex, messy world of technology to help you ...
