Hidden inside every organ, microscopic fibers form a scaffolding that quietly shapes how we move, think, and heal. For the ...

To effectively replicate the movements of humans and animals, robots should integrate muscle-like structures. These artificial muscles should attain an optimal performance across all relevant ...

A simple light-based method is uncovering hidden fiber networks inside the brain and body, even in tissue slides over 100 years old.

Hormonal shifts make it harder to maintain strength as we age, but these expert-approved compound exercises target every ...

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, ...

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 ...

It's no secret that our muscles begin to weaken as we age. But scientists are only just beginning to understand the mechanisms underlying these changes, and what our muscles can do to combat them. Our ...

PALO ALTO, Calif. (KGO) -- Researchers at Stanford have invented a new way to look at muscles in the human body and they're hoping that it could help lead to break throughs in some of the most ...
