Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a new class of protein-based fibers modeled on the aligned structure of animal skeletal muscle, producing materials that resist ...

To study muscle diseases, scientists rely on the mouse as a model organism. Researchers have now developed a new method that is not only faster and more efficient than conventional ones but also ...

Accomplishing perhaps a world first, researchers at Columbia University and the UChicago-affiliated Marine Biological Laboratory have mapped the full-body muscular activity of an animal while it was ...

3D printed tissues and organs have shown real potential in addressing shortages of available donor tissue for people in need of transplants, but having them take root and survive after implantation ...

ON November 4 Prof. A. V. Hill gave a Friday Evening Discourse at the Royal Institution, his subject being "The Dimensions of Animals and their Muscular Dynamics". He pointed out that mammals vary in ...

An animal research model has been developed for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) to be used for muscle regeneration research as well as studies of the effectiveness of potential therapies ...

A new 3D model shows that Duchenne gene therapy can repair muscle fibers but fails to shut down the signals that drive scarring.
