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 ...

Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a new class of protein-based fibers modeled on the aligned ...

Forget what you’ve heard about "toning" vs. "building"—science proves all muscle is created equal, and your ultimate look ...

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 ...

Engineers developed a method to grow artificial muscle tissue that twitches and flexes in multiple, coordinated directions. These tissues could be useful for building 'biohybrid' robots powered by ...

Let’s get one thing straight: Muscle is muscle. Despite what many fitness influencers may have you believe, there’s no such thing as "lean muscle" or "bulk muscle." It’s all made from the same stuff.

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have shown that the protein Musashi-2 (Msi2) plays a key role in the regulation of mass and metabolic processes in skeletal muscle. They ...

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 ...

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers investigate the pathophysiology of post-exertional malaise (PEM) in long coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, focusing on ...

Research suggests about 40 grams of protein should be consumed to stimulate muscle growth throughout the night, said sports ...
