Muscle-on-chip systems are three-dimensional human muscle cell bundles cultured on collagen scaffolds. A Stanford University research team sent some of these systems to the International Space Station ...

Understanding how bone marrow produces blood–and how this whole process can fail–is critical to fighting blood cancers and ...

AI and human-movement research intersect in a study that enables precise estimation of hand muscle activity from standard ...

One of the most famous fossils in human evolutionary history is known as “Lucy,” who belonged to an extinct species called Australopithecus afarensis—an early relative of Homo sapiens who was among ...

Ancient human relatives ran on two legs, like modern humans, but at a much slower pace, suggest 3D computer simulations of Australopithecus afarensis – a small hominin that lived more than three ...

Scientists are sending human muscle cells into outer space in order to try and find ways to combat muscle loss as you get older. As people are surviving longer, the effects muscle loss have on our ...

Tiny actuators – devices that convert energy and signals into movement – that operate as artificial muscles could lift up to 1000 times their own weight, according to research that may one day lead to ...

Using human cells and cutting-edge technology, the team created a three-dimensional (3D) model that accurately simulates the ...
