Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how scientists understand proteins—these are working molecules that drive nearly every process in the human body, from cell growth and immune defense to ...

Healthy, robust muscles are required for movement and normal bodily functions, but muscles can decline significantly as we age. This can increase the risk of physical problems, falls, and breaks that ...

Before Adam Sharples became a molecular physiologist studying muscle memory, he played professional rugby. Over his years as an athlete, he noticed that he and his teammates seemed to return to form ...

As we age, the muscles we rely on for daily activities tend to become less reliable. With enough decline, even normal movements such as getting out of bed become risky. Low muscle mass in the ...

Muscle cell powered biohybrid robots, including jellyfish, worm, fish, and butterfly based models, and the main factors influencing their performance. It also illustrates fabrication techniques, ...

Stem cells are precursors of a variety of different cells: They can turn into anything from blood to bone to muscle. Human blood stem cells, known as hematopoietic stem cells, are the forerunners of ...

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of mortality among non-communicable diseases worldwide. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), as the predominant cellular component of the ...

Volvox parent spheroid: Numerous individual cells can be seen across the entire surface as magenta-colored dots. Developing daughter spheroids appear as a few larger clusters with very small dots. The ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to the function of motile cilia, the hair-like structures extending from the ...

Throughout my life, I always associated working out with losing weight. Because I’d never had a weight problem or been a heavy person, I wasn’t very active until my 50s, when I gained weight due to ...

A tiny elephant establishes a new stomping ground for 3-D printing: inside cells. For the first time, scientists have 3-D printed objects within living cells, including a 10-micrometer long elephant ...
