Researchers from the German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke (DIfE) and other partner institutions of the ...

Stimulating muscle fibers with magnets causes them to grow in the same direction, aligning muscle cells within tissue. The findings offer a simpler, less time-consuming way for medical researchers to ...

This illustration depicts the novel electrohydrodynamic (EHD) bioprinting process. The electrical force aligns fibrin nanofibers within the bioprinted hydrogel filament, which in turn guides the ...

What makes a body’s organs into what they are is more than just a grouping of specialized cells. They also need to be oriented and attached to each other and scaffolding in order to create structures ...

The flow of water within a muscle fiber may dictate how quickly muscle can contract, according to a new study. The flow of water within a muscle fiber may dictate how quickly muscle can contract, ...

Every movement your body makes depends on a microscopic chemical balance within individual cells. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison developed a high-sensitivity method to analyze ...

(Nanowerk News) Prof. Sang Ouk Kim’s group at KAIST has developed a new type of artificial muscle fiber based on graphene-liquid crystal elastomer composites. This new artificial muscle has been ...

When you picture different athletes—marathon runners, gymnasts, and Olympic weightlifters, for example—you likely categorize them instinctively by their height, size, and build. But the differences in ...

This illustration depicts a new platform for magnetic matrix actuation, enabling the study of how tissues respond to dynamic mechanical cues in their environment. Stimulating muscle fibers with ...
