For years, the body’s largest lean tissue—skeletal muscle—has been underestimated in its role in managing metabolic health. Despite its size, it contributes surprisingly little to blood sugar and fat ...

A bioreactor that mimics a circulatory system can deliver nutrients and oxygen to artificial tissue, enabling the production ...

University of Delaware's Mona Batish is a molecular biologist. She studies circular RNAs formed as a result of so-called ...

Now, MIT engineers have taken a major step toward developing robots that replace rigid gears with something much softer – almost like real, living muscle tissue. In other words, they have found a way ...

Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy is gaining recognition as a specialized treatment for problems in the pelvic region. The pelvic ...

Researchers have developed a hollow fiber bioreactor that mimics a circulatory system, overcoming challenges in tissue ...

Rest assured, the hype is real. Hypertrophy is, by definition, the enlargement of an organ or tissue from the increase in size of its cells. Not to be confused with hyperplasia, the process of ...

A bioreactor that mimics a circulatory system can deliver nutrients and oxygen to artificial tissue, enabling the production of over 10 grams of ...

A 41-year-old fitness enthusiast rushed to the doctor after her sore muscles and 'cola'-coloured pee became unbearable. Gemma Underwood was then diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis - a condition where ...

"We believe we've created the first skeletal muscle-powered robot that generates force in more than one direction," said Ritu Raman, a tissue engineer at MIT. "That was enabled by this new ...

As cell-based therapies aimed at prolongation of skeletal muscle strength in aging ... Mice were anesthetized before cervical dislocation and muscle tissue was separated from bone and most ...

A new process, named STAMP, from MIT which uses 3D printing could help researchers to properly align fibers in artificial ...
