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

The Englund Lab is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join our NIH-funded research program investigating how cellular senescence contributes to skeletal muscle loss and dysfunction in ...

MXene nanoparticle scaffolds have been shown to stimulate muscle growth, making them a promising option to treat muscle loss and damage. Now, researchers explain the molecular mechanisms behind their ...

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

A new study reveals that vesicles packed with healthy mitochondria can supercharge tissue repair and combat chronic disease, paving the way for next-generation regenerative treatments. Study: ...

Mount Sinai's Cardiovascular Research Institute is sending bioengineered human heart muscle cells and micro-tissues into space for the first time on NASA's 29 th SpaceX commercial resupply services ...

With a new mathematical model, a team of biophysicists has revealed fresh insights into how biological tissues are shaped by the active motion of structural imperfections known as "topological defects ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists who arranged for 48 human bioengineered heart tissue samples to spend 30 days at the International Space Station report evidence that the low gravity conditions in ...

Before long-term space travel is a reality, scientists must solve a hurdle of biology: Our bodies break down in space. Some 40% of the human body by weight is skeletal muscle—the kind that moves limbs ...
