Biological muscles act as flexible actuators, generating force naturally and with an impressive range of motion. Unsurprisingly, scientists and engineers have been striving to build artificial muscles ...
Tsukuba, Japan—Different types of exercise encourage the formation of different types of muscle fibers, or the cells that make up your muscles. Slow twitch muscle fibers support endurance activities ...
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 ...
slow-twitch muscle fibers, which move more slowly but help to keep you moving longer fast-twitch muscle fibers, which help you move faster, but for shorter periods “Twitch” refers to the contraction, ...
Researchers are using silkworm silk to grow skeletal muscle cells, improving on traditional methods of cell culture and hopefully leading to better treatments for muscle atrophy. Researchers at Utah ...

Hidden fiber webs inside human tissue were mapped for the 1st time
Hidden inside every organ, microscopic fibers form a scaffolding that quietly shapes how we move, think, and heal. For the ...
A muscle fiber consists of just one cell, but many nuclei. A team has now shown just how varied these nuclei are. The study can help us better understand muscle diseases such as Duchenne muscular ...
