The first comprehensive cell atlas of ageing human muscle reveals the intricate genetic and cellular processes behind muscle deterioration and mechanisms to counteract it.

The hand is made of a 3D-printed plastic base, with tendons of human muscle tissue which move the fingers. Until now, biohybrid devices have typically been on a much smaller scale (about 1 ...

Future robots could soon have a lot more muscle power. Northwestern Engineering researchers have developed a soft artificial muscle, paving the way for untethered animal- and human-scale robots. The ...

"Discoveries from research like this have huge potential for developing therapeutic strategies that promote healthier ageing," the researchers say.

The pelvis is often called the keystone of upright locomotion. More than any other part of our lower body, it has been ...

Researchers are using the human body as inspiration in the next generation of robots. It's like anatomy, but electronic. Electro-hydraulic muscles are more energy efficient than motor driven ...

Researchers have digitally reconstructed the leg muscles of an ancient human ancestor that lived 3.2 million years ago, revealing they could stand and walk upright like modern humans.

But to their knowledge, this is the first study that has tested gene therapy on a heart disease model in non-human primates. The team also believes that this approach may be particularly effective for ...

For the first time, researchers have discovered and isolated adult stem cells from a non-human primate. This finding could transform the foundation for how we develop stem cell treatments.

Engineers have developed a new soft, flexible device that makes robots move by expanding and contracting -- just like a human muscle. To demonstrate their new device, called an actuator, the ...
