Skeletal muscle is the type of muscle that controls movement. Problems with these muscles can be minor, life-threatening, or ongoing problems that make it hard to perform basic daily activities.

There's a lot of talk about lean muscle compared to bulk muscle, but experts say it's not worth differentiating the two.

Scientists have developed a specially formulated bioink, which contains microparticles engineered for sustained delivery of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). This delivery enhances the formation ...

Skeletal muscle is the largest metabolic organ in the body. It is composed of muscle fibers, blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue. In skeletal muscle, blood vessels are responsible for ...

Skeletal muscle tissue can self-repair minor injuries, but significant muscle loss leads to non-functional scar tissue. Current treatments mainly involve autologous muscle transfer. Tissue engineering ...

Researchers have developed a novel bioink that uses a sustained-release hormone to promote the growth and regeneration of 3D-printed muscle tissues. Their approach opens the door to developing new ...

Accelerating Drug Discovery with Human-Relevant 3D Engineered Muscle Tissue Analysis SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Curi Bio, a leading developer of human stem cell-based platforms for drug discovery, ...

It has been a long endeavor to create biohybrid robots – machines powered by lab-grown muscle as potential actuators. The ...

Compared to robots, human bodies are flexible, capable of fine movements, and can convert energy efficiently into movement. Drawing inspiration from human gait, researchers from Japan crafted a ...
