This technology is a significant advancement in biohybrid prosthetics, with applications in medicine, rehabilitation, and ...

A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a scissor gesture has been built by a team at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan. The researchers used thin strings of lab-grown ...

Researchers have discovered a new mechanism that is used by a male sex hormone essential for muscle and bone function. The ...

This is an important and solid study that examines the role of TFAM, a protein that helps maintain mtDNA, in mtDNA mutator mice. The authors have demonstrated that TFAM's counteractive role in mtDNA ...

New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmitting signals in ...

If insulin can’t get out of blood vessels, it can’t act in its target tissues. “Endothelial cells are full of insulin ...

The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances in ...

This important study focused on characterizing clonally derived MSC populations from the synovium of normal and osteoarthritis (OA) patients, demonstrating their potential to regenerate cartilage in ...

Our biceps and our brain cells may have more in common than previously thought. New research led by the Lippincott-Schwartz ...

Multiphoton microscopy is a general term for a variety of fluorescence and non-fluorescence microscopy techniques that rely on multiple photons interacting with either individual molecules or ...

A motion segment, such as a leg is comprised of a number of interdependent components (i.e., muscles, tendons, bones, and articular joints) that rely on the integrated biological and mechanical ...
