MIT engineers have built a paper-thin, two-finned robot lined with light-sensitive muscle cells that can swim and swivel ...

Swimming can take a lot of muscle. But as MIT engineers have found, even a single layer of muscle cells can power through water if designed right. In a paper published Sept. 28 in the journal Advanced ...

Workouts don't just burn fat—they alter gene activity in immune cells. Discover how exercise optimizes cytotoxic T cells, chromatin, and cellular health.

An MIT robot powered by a single layer of living muscle cells swam through a watery maze, following a light held in a researcher’s hand. It is slow, tiny and nowhere near ready for the open ocean, but ...

Skeletal muscles are capable of regenerating themselves following an injury, a process that depends on muscle stem cells. In ...

A natural compound reduced fat buildup in mouse muscle cells by protecting a key metabolic protein.

New cell research shows prolonged tadalafil exposure boosts proliferation of muscle progenitor cells, suppresses myostatin ...

In a shallow dish of water, a sliver of gel no bigger than a stick of gum flaps its way toward a blue light. The swimmer has ...

Have you ever taken months off training – maybe due to an injury, a new baby or crushing work deadlines – and come back ...

If you've ever wondered how all of your dietary changes and exercise actually translates to muscle growth, new research ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Leibniz Institute on Aging—Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena and the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg in ...
