Repeated exercise, or wasting, can change the way key genes work.

How muscle changes with ageing, and tries to fight its effects, is now better understood at the cellular and molecular level with the first comprehensive atlas of ageing muscles in humans. Researchers ...

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 ...

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 ...
