Sometimes nature provides the best blueprints for building effective robots. It also can provide the best material. Billions of years of natural selection has built some pretty impressive machinery, ...

A research team has found that specific immune cells can connect with muscle fibers in a lightning-fast, neuron-like way to promote healing. These cells deliver quick pulses of calcium, triggering ...

Researchers analyzed DNA methylation in human skeletal muscle and identified age-linked epigenetic markers that enable highly ...

The misconception that muscle can be lean or bulky lies in its appearance. “When people (say ‘lean’), they’re usually ...

Muscle scraping, or instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), is a therapeutic technique used to enhance muscle recovery, release tension, and improve mobility. It combines ancient ...

Bone broth contains protein and nutrients that benefit muscles. However, protein powder may have a more direct impact on muscle building and recovery.

MXene nanoparticle scaffolds have been shown to stimulate muscle growth, making them a promising option to treat muscle loss and damage. Now, researchers explain the molecular mechanisms behind their ...

In context: Making robots more biologically compatible has been a challenge scientists have been tackling for years. Until now, they have primarily been able to create lab-grown muscle fibers that ...
