Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a new class of protein-based fibers modeled on the aligned ...

A stem-cell-based "organ-on-a-chip" model of ALS mimics early biological changes seen in the degenerative disease.

A new model mimics physiologic loads on engineering heart muscle tissues, yielding an unprecedented view of how genetics and mechanical forces contribute to heart muscle function. Efforts to ...

Researchers identified a molecular pathway that can limit muscle repair, a finding that may guide future muscular dystrophy ...

Scientists have created a bioengineered 3-D model that mimics the biology of two rare diseases. The researchers used the 'tissue chip' model to show how a drug could potentially treat the diseases, ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University have demonstrated that iron supplementation can significantly alleviate muscle pathology and functional decline in a mouse model of facioscapulohumeral muscular ...

As people age, muscles naturally lose mass and strength, a condition known as sarcopenia. The decline can make everyday activities harder and increases the risk of falls, disability, and early death.
