The mammalian immune system is an evolutionary wonder. It's capable of recognizing and destroying cancer cells, and it can ...

Building muscle isn’t just a matter of showing up and working out however and whenever you want. Looking in the mirror ...

Patients with degenerative diseases that attack skeletal muscle tissues, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, may soon benefit from novel stem cell therapies. A study has demonstrated how new ...

Cells are the building blocks of life. Tissue is made when specialised cells with the same function group together. For example, millions of muscle cells make up muscle tissue. An organ is made ...

Scaling up biohybrid robots has been difficult due to the weak contractile force of lab-grown muscles, the risk of necrosis ...

the team has shown that they can achieve tissue regeneration in rats without using cells, and they expect much better healing by combining their bactogels with either muscle progenitor cells or ...

YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD big guys at the gym tossing around the word "hypertrophy" when they talk about their lifting goals — but what does that even mean? Are the principles behind the term just ...

Engineers developed a method to grow artificial muscle tissue that twitches and flexes in multiple, coordinated directions. These tissues could be useful for building 'biohybrid' robots powered by ...

As the most important muscle in our body ... while providing the benefit of such tissue patches grown from one’s own iPS cells not evoking an immune response and thus mitigating the need ...

Scientists at MIT have created a new kind of artificial muscle that can flex and move in multiple directions, much like real ...
