Scaling up biohybrid robots has been difficult due to the weak contractile force of lab-grown muscles, the risk of necrosis ...

To test whether the neurons were functional, the researchers injected them into the brains of rats treated with a neurotoxin ...

But classical differentiation protocols to create these muscle cells are long, complex and difficult to reproduce. An advanced technique now allows human iPSCs to be converted into striated ...

How muscle changes with aging and tries to fight its effects is now better understood at the cellular and molecular level ...

Human muscle cells are large cells, with a diameter of up to 100 micrometers, or slightly larger than the width of a human hair, and they can grow up to 12 centimeters long (almost 5 inches).

It may be disturbing to characterize human bodies in such commodifying terms, but the unavoidable reality is that human ...

A scientific team has used millions of human cells to build neural circuits in the laboratory that sense painful stimuli and ...

Not just that, they also identified mechanisms the muscles use to combat aging. The result of their work is the first-ever cell atlas of aging human muscle, published today in Nature Ageing.

A new study published in Nature Cardiovascular Research found that while carotid artery narrowing can lead to stroke in both ...

Scientists are looking for answers about how these confounding trips, known as metastases, occur throughout the human body ...

The diversity of cells in the human body is mentioned. Using muscle cells as an example, it is then explained how cells are adapted to their function. A group of cells working together is defined ...
