This article examines how exercise-induced exerkines prevent disease, as well as promote metabolic, cardiovascular, immune, ...

University of Delaware’s Mona Batish is a molecular biologist. She studies circular RNAs formed as a result of so-called molecular mistakes that occur when a strand of RNA — the ribonucleic acid that ...

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 ...

Jang Yeojun of Close Your Eyes has been hospitalised with rhabdomyolysis, a rare muscle breakdown condition that can cause kidney damage if untreated. Often triggered by intense exercise, dehydration, ...

In context: Making robots more biologically compatible has been a challenge scientists have been tackling for years. Until now, they have primarily been able to create lab-grown muscle fibers that ...

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 ...
