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

Bioengineers have developed a mechanically active adhesive named MAGENTA, which functions as a soft robotic device able to extend and contract muscles from the outside. In an animal model, MAGENTA ...

Axial myopathy is a general term for a group of myopathies affecting the axial muscles. Axial myopathy appears to be a grossly underestimated feature of many muscle diseases and often overlooked ...

Muscles are made to move. Stretching and contraction stimulate biochemical pathways within muscle that maintain tissue health. When movement slows—when a broken limb is immobilized in a cast, for ...

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 ...
