Scientists have developed a specially formulated bioink, which contains microparticles engineered for sustained delivery of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). This delivery enhances the formation ...

The contraction process involves interactions between actin and myosin filaments within the sarcomeres to generate force. Recent research has achieved significant advances in functional design, ...

Accelerating Drug Discovery with Human-Relevant 3D Engineered Muscle Tissue Analysis SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Curi Bio, a leading developer of human stem cell-based platforms for drug discovery, ...

If cancer is a disease of overabundance, where cells divide without restraint and tumors grow despite the body's best ...

Muscle-derived branched-chain amino acids support thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue, thereby helping maintain body temperature during impaired muscle function or physiological stress.

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 ...

A University of Alberta research team is shedding much-needed light on cancer cachexia, a severe muscle-wasting syndrome linked to up to a third of cancer deaths.

CU Boulder researcher Jesse Kurland shows in new study that aging is a complex process affecting genetic networks, and altering one gene won’t stop it As anyone who’s ever said “oof” while sitting ...
