Sometimes nature provides the best blueprints for building effective robots. It also can provide the best material. Billions of years of natural selection has built some pretty impressive machinery, ...

Metabolic health is maintained through the complex interplay between key tissues, including adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and the liver. Adipose tissue ...

The contraction process involves interactions between actin and myosin filaments within the sarcomeres to generate force. Recent research has achieved significant advances in functional design, ...

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 ...

A multi-tissue proteomic atlas uncovers the shared and distinct molecular signatures of metabolic flexibility induced by intermittent fasting.

Researchers from the German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke (DIfE) and other partner institutions of the ...

Incretin-based obesity medications may result in higher muscle-related loss vs. other weight loss strategies, according to ...

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 ...
