Researchers have just made the unexpected discovery of a novel organization of muscle fibers in Parophidion vassali, a fish that lives in the Mediterranean Sea and, like many fish, uses specialized ...

Researchers in Japan have created a biomimetic gelatin gel that replicates the softness and microstructure of slow-twitch muscle tissue, allowing muscle precursor cells to develop genetic and ...

- Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, are specialized cells designed for contraction and force production. Skeletal Muscle Cells: These cells are long, cylindrical, and have a striated (or striped) ...

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 ...

ETH Zurich scientists 3D print muscle tissue in simulated zero gravity, paving the way for growing human tissue in space.

Does protein build muscle? The answer to this question is a resounding, ‘yes’. Muscle tissue is composed of a repeating structure of two protein filaments: myosin and actin. Myosin and actin filaments ...

Researchers are 3D printing human muscle in zero gravity to create better disease models and improve astronaut health during space missions.

Researchers at the University of Liège, Eric Parmentier and Marc Thiry have just made the unexpected discovery of a novel organisation of muscle fibres in Parophidion vassali, a fish that lives in the ...
