Muscle lost through traumatic injury, congenital defect, or tumor ablation may soon be regenerated from within. A team of researchers at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center has shown how stem cells in ...

New research suggests that fish oil supplements may accelerate muscle healing in aging rats and muscle cells, potentially offering a solution for quicker recovery from age-related muscle injuries in ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Nature-inspired robotics is a hot field these days. We’ve ...

Little is known about the effect of physical activity in early life on subsequent growth and regulation of inflammation. We previously reported that exposure of muscles in growing rats to IL-6 results ...

What if repairing large segments of damaged muscle tissue was as simple as mobilizing the body’s stem cells to the site of the injury? New research in mice and rats suggests that “in body” ...

A rat in Boston received what scientists are calling the first lab-engineered replacement limb. The "bio-artificial" rat forelimb is the result of a research experiment published online in the journal ...

OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that the synthesis of intramyocellular triglycerides (imcTG) in skeletal muscle is increased in obese rats in which the content of imcTG is known to be abnormally ...

As if the line between human and machine wasn't already blurry enough, researchers in Tokyo have developed a new method for using living rat muscle tissue in robotics. The “biohybrid” design, ...

Scientists have made an artificial jellyfish out of rat heart muscles and rubbery silicon. When given an electric shock, it swims just like the real thing. Future versions should be able to swim and ...

The first time you see a rat boggling its eyes, it can be a startling sight. Their eyeballs visibly vibrate in their sockets.
