The human body is a wonderous thing, especially when you consider how intricate and efficient each bodily system is. For instance, an adult’s blood vessels could encircle the earth 2.5 times if ...

Muscle-on-chip systems are three-dimensional human muscle cell bundles cultured on collagen scaffolds. A Stanford University research team sent some of these systems to the International Space Station ...

It's no secret that our muscles begin to weaken as we age. But scientists are only just beginning to understand the mechanisms underlying these changes, and what our muscles can do to combat them. Our ...

As you bite into a crisp apple, your jaw muscle contracts, allowing you to grind the fruit between your teeth. When you climb a flight of stairs, your gluteus maximus (or "glutes") push your body ...

A new research paper was published in Volume 17, Issue 11 of Aging-US on November 26, 2025, titled "Epigenetic aging ...

In a significant stride forward in the field of bio-inspired robotics, researchers have engineered artificial muscles powered by artificial intelligence (AI). These muscles, made from materials that ...

A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a scissor gesture has been created. The researchers used thin strings of lab-grown muscle tissue bundled into sushilike rolls to give the fingers enough ...

The complex combination of movements required for this simple scissor gesture is a big step up from the capabilities of previous biohybrid robots. A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a ...
