Researchers have developed a novel bioink that uses a sustained-release hormone to promote the growth and regeneration of 3D-printed muscle tissues. Their approach opens the door to developing new ...
An international team has produced the first high-resolution 3D image of the sarcomere, the basic contractile unit of skeletal and heart muscle cells, by using electron cryo-tomography. Electron ...
Researchers at the University of Liège, Eric Parmentier and Marc Thiry have just made the unexpected discovery of a novel organisation of muscle fibres in Parophidion vassali, a fish that lives in the ...
Hidden inside every organ, microscopic fibers form a scaffolding that quietly shapes how we move, think, and heal. For the first time, scientists have produced detailed maps of these fiber webs across ...
Human health is the Achilles heel of space travel. Researchers at ETH Zurich have now succeeded in printing complex muscle tissue in zero gravity. This will enable drugs for space missions to be ...
In work that could one day help athletes as well as aging adults regenerate tissue more effectively, scientists increased the regeneration of muscle cells in mice by activating the precursors of ...
Working out doesn't just build muscle but, in later life, helps maintain a powerful cellular machine that repairs damaged ...
Sometimes nature provides the best blueprints for building effective robots. It also can provide the best material. Billions of years of natural selection has built some pretty impressive machinery, ...
