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 ...

Scaling up biohybrid robots has been difficult due to the weak contractile force of lab-grown muscles, the risk of necrosis in thick muscle tissues, and the challenge of integrating biological ...

A collaborative study led by Prof. Liu Guanghui from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Dr. Wang ...

Cells can also send out packages called exosomes, lipid vesicles that bubble off from the cell membrane. But for about 20 ...

Scientists at MIT have created a new kind of artificial muscle that can flex and move in multiple directions, much like real ...

Now, MIT engineers have taken a major step toward developing robots that replace rigid gears with something much softer – ...

This paper presents the important finding that BNIP3/NIX, a mitophagy receptor, and its binding to ATG18 are required for mitophagy during muscle cell reorganization in Drosophila. Although the ...

A new study suggests that the body’s internal clock not only controls sleep but also affects how quickly muscles recover from ...

Before you start working out to build muscle, it's important to know how long it will take for you to see results.
