Microscopic fibers in tissue are critical for our understanding of disease, but they have been difficult to study.

Human health is the Achilles heel of space travel. Researchers at ETH Zurich have now succeeded in printing complex muscle ...

Researchers are 3D printing human muscle in zero gravity to create better disease models and improve astronaut health during space missions.

A team of researchers from the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST) and Tokyo Metropolitan University has developed a biomaterial that could change how we treat muscle ...

In a leap that could reshape how scientists study the human body in space, researchers at ETH Zurich have successfully 3D ...

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, ...

If cancer is a disease of overabundance, where cells divide without restraint and tumors grow despite the body's best interests, then degenerative diseases are disorders of deprivation. When ...

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 ...

Muscle degeneration, the most prevalent cause of frailty in hereditary diseases and aging, could be caused by a deficiency in one key enzyme in a lipid biosynthesis pathway. Researchers now ...
