Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a new technique to better understand and test treatments for a group of extremely rare muscle disorders called dysferlinopathy or limb girdle ...

ETH Zurich Professor Ori Bar- Nur and his team grow muscle cells in the laboratory. In this case, they are mouse cells, but the researchers are also interested in human and cow cells. Promising ...

Lab-grown or cultured meat could revolutionize food production, providing a greener, more sustainable, more ethical alternative to large-scale meat production. But getting lab-grown meat from the ...

As I’m typing these words, I don’t think about the synchronized muscle contractions that allow my fingers to dance across the keyboard. Or the back muscles that unconsciously tighten to hold myself ...

In proof-of-concept experiments, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have successfully cultivated human muscle stem cells capable of renewing themselves and repairing muscle tissue damage in ...

A team of researchers has developed a simple lab-based system for growing human muscle cells that are capable of vigorously contracting. A team of researchers at Tohoku University have developed a ...

Researchers at the International Space Station National Laboratory (ISS National Lab) and the University of Florida have modeled age-related muscle loss by using tissue chips in microgravity.

For many people with high cholesterol, statins are an essential part of staying healthy. These medicines help lower harmful ...

Czech playwright Karel Capek coined the word “robot” in his seminal 1920 work, “Rossum’s Universal Robots.” In this dark piece of sci-fi, the term described flesh-and-blood laborers made from organic ...
