Aging muscles heal more slowly after injury - a frustrating reality familiar to many older adults. A new UCLA study conducted ...

You may not be able to grow bigger muscles out of thin air, but you can 3D print them in microgravity, scientists at ETH Zurich have now established. "3D printing" refers to a type of manufacturing ...

Researchers have made significant strides in biomaterial technology and rehabilitation medicine. They've developed a novel approach to healing muscle injury by employing 'injectable tissue prosthesis' ...

MXene nanoparticle scaffolds have been shown to stimulate muscle growth, making them a promising option to treat muscle loss and damage. Now, researchers explain the molecular mechanisms behind their ...

Human health is the Achilles heel of space travel. Researchers at ETH Zurich have now succeeded in printing complex muscle tissue in zero gravity. This will enable drugs for space missions to be ...

Combining lab-grown muscle tissue with a series of flexible mechanical joints has led to the development of an artificial hand that can grip and make gestures. The breakthrough shows the way forward ...

This new hydrogel system (IT-IC) can protect the gel from destruction by external forces. In conventional covalently crosslinked hydrogels (e.g., methacrylated hyaluronic acid, referred to as MeHA), ...
