When electrically stimulated, the muscles contract, pulling fine wires that bend the fingers, mimicking human muscle fatigue ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a way to treat ageing-related muscular atrophy using regenerative medicine. Conventional methods to implant myoblasts, precursors to ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto's Institute of Biomedical Engineering have found that studying blood flow in leg ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

“Water supports the transport of nutrients within the body, supports joints, excretes waste products and so much more,” explains Ansari, who says dehydration can cause the body to cannibalize its own ...

In brief: Is Snake becoming the new Doom? A few weeks after the classic mobile title was shrunk down to a 56-byte QR code, someone has developed what's likely to be the world's smallest version of ...
