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 ...

Pioneering research by experts at the University of Sydney, the Baird Institute and the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in ...

Biohybrid robots work by combining biological components like muscles, plant material, and even fungi with non-biological materials. While we are pretty good at making the non-biological parts work, ...

Hidden inside every organ, microscopic fibers form a scaffolding that quietly shapes how we move, think, and heal. For the first time, scientists have produced detailed maps of these fiber webs across ...

Eight years on from the formation of the Human Cell Atlas (HCA) consortium, which set out with the hugely ambitious task of mapping the entire human body – around 37.2 trillion cells – scientists ...

Millions of people live with atrial fibrillation, a racing, uneven heartbeat that can leave you exhausted and scared. Yet it ...

In a tiny laboratory pond, a robotic stingray flaps its fins and swims around. Roughly the width of a dime, the bot dashes distances multiple times its body size. It easily navigates around corners ...

In work published in Nature Biotechnology, Rubin and his research group turned to 3D cell culture to take on the problem of generating sufficient satellite cells for regenerative therapies. 2 ...

University of Delaware’s Mona Batish is a molecular biologist. She studies circular RNAs formed as a result of so-called molecular mistakes that occur when a strand of RNA — the ribonucleic acid that ...

That’s not a vanity statement for those who want to look good or a performance issue for those who want to be better, stronger, and faster. It’s a medical issue and has been for a long time. And if ...
