A new treatment platform developed by researchers at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center was able to deliver ...

Abnormally high blood sugar (glucose) levels can result in type 2 diabetes when things go awry with the body's skeletal muscle, which plays a key role in regulating glucose. Scientists are using in ...

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, ...

There's rarely time to write about every cool science-y story that comes our way. So this year, we're once again running a special Twelve Days of Christmas series of posts, highlighting one science ...

Human health is the Achilles heel of space travel. Researchers at ETH Zurich have now succeeded in printing complex muscle tissue in zero gravity. This will enable drugs for space missions to be ...

Researchers typically create organoid models for other biological systems with pluripotent stem cells, but the Harvard team began with readily accessible myoblasts, which satellite cells differentiate ...

(Nanowerk News) Empa researchers are working on artificial muscles that can keep up with the real thing. They have now developed a method of producing the soft and elastic, yet powerful structures ...

The same model also allows exploration of CICR in neurons, smooth muscle, and immune cells, expanding its clinical impact. With this insight, drug design can now focus on precision control of Ca²⁺ ...

Space exploration activity has been increasing. In turn, researchers are more interested than ever in uncovering more about how space travel affects human health and the progression of disease.
