A stem-cell-based "organ-on-a-chip" model of ALS mimics early biological changes seen in the degenerative disease.

Building functional human muscle in the laboratory has long been a goal of regenerative medicine, but one stubborn obstacle ...

Deep tissue injury (DTI) is a serious condition primarily triggered by prolonged mechanical loading rather than short-term excessive force. Cyclic force stimulation has been shown to enhance cellular ...

The mechanism for muscle stem cells repair could inspire therapeutics for muscle loss caused by injury, aging and weight-loss ...

Scientists have created a bioengineered 3-D model that mimics the biology of two rare diseases. The researchers used the 'tissue chip' model to show how a drug could potentially treat the diseases, ...

As people age, muscles naturally lose mass and strength, a condition known as sarcopenia. The decline can make everyday activities harder and increases the risk of falls, disability and early death.

Scientists found that muscles store a chemical record of past inactivity that gets significantly worse with age.

Combining lab-grown muscle tissue with a series of flexible mechanical joints has led to the development of an artificial hand that can grip and make gestures. The breakthrough shows the way forward ...
