Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a new class of protein-based fibers modeled on the aligned ...

Forget what you’ve heard about "toning" vs. "building"—science proves all muscle is created equal, and your ultimate look ...

As the most important muscle in our body, any serious issues with our heart are considered critical and reason for replacement with a donor heart. Unfortunately donor hearts are rather rare, making ...

Cell sheets are guided to form anchored, scaffold-free constructs for in vitro modeling by providing pillars that act as anchors for otherwise anchorless cell sheets. Credit: Advanced Functional ...

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 ...

Researchers in Japan have taken a major step forward in biohybrid robotics by developing a hand powered by lab-grown muscle tissue. A collaborative effort between the University of Tokyo and Waseda ...

Yes, you can build muscle while burning fat – science and real-world evidence both say so, but it’s less than optimal.

While humans lose muscle within weeks of inactivity, brown bears preserve muscle during hibernation, offering clues for maintaining our muscle health.

Sleep is the most powerful recovery tool athletes have. During sleep, growth hormone is released, and muscle tissues are repaired. The nervous system resets, and the body is able to be refreshed. ...
