Hidden inside every organ, microscopic fibers form a scaffolding that quietly shapes how we move, think, and heal. For the ...

A newly developed imaging technique has enabled scientists to map microscopic fiber networks in the brain, muscles, and bones ...

A simple light-based method is uncovering hidden fiber networks inside the brain and body, even in tissue slides over 100 years old.

Scientists have developed a specially formulated bioink, which contains microparticles engineered for sustained delivery of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). This delivery enhances the formation ...

Researchers have developed a novel bioink that uses a sustained-release hormone to promote the growth and regeneration of 3D-printed muscle tissues. Their approach opens the door to developing new ...

Stem cells travel along a collagen network to reach damaged muscle tissue and heal it. In Duchenne muscular dystrophy, stiff, scarred collagen prevents stem cells from reaching their target. A protein ...

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 ...

Rhabdomyolysis is a condition in which muscle damage—often caused by drug intake—can lead to impaired kidney function and ...

Engineers at Duke University have developed a wireless patch that can noninvasively measure skin and tissue stiffness at depths of up to a couple of inches. Already smaller than a smartwatch, the ...
