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 ...

Repeated exercise, or wasting, can change the way key genes work.

How muscle changes with ageing, and tries to fight its effects, is now better understood at the cellular and molecular level with the first comprehensive atlas of ageing muscles in humans. Researchers ...

Skeletal muscle blood flow regulation is a critical physiological process ensuring that active muscle tissue receives adequate oxygen and nutrients during both rest and exercise. This regulation is ...

Blood flow restriction training—once a niche rehabilitation method used primarily by physical therapists—has quietly transformed into one of fitness’s most intriguing innovations. This technique uses ...

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 ...
