University College Dublin researchers have developed a robotic model of the human esophagus, transforming how swallowing ...

Scientists have developed a network of mechanical motors that mimic the molecular machinery underpinning human muscle ...

We think the human body is fully mapped. In reality, anatomy is still incomplete, and shaped by who was studied, and who wasn ...

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 first comprehensive cell atlas of aging human muscle reveals the intricate genetic and cellular processes behind muscle deterioration and mechanisms to counteract it. How muscle changes with ...

With the intensification of global population aging, muscle atrophy, characterized by the loss of muscle mass and function, has become an important health issue affecting the elderly. Researchers have ...
