Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a new class of protein-based fibers modeled on the aligned ...

Natural muscle fibers are made up of spring-like proteins that can contract and stretch without losing their original form, dissipate mechanical energy as heat and maintain incredible tensile strength ...

Researchers have created protein fibers inspired by various animal muscle proteins. These materials are grown in bioreactors and can be stronger than many synthetic fibers.

Muscle is the largest organ that accounts for 40% of body mass and plays an essential role in maintaining our lives. Muscle tissue is notable for its unique ability for spontaneous regeneration.

- 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) ...

Researchers identified a molecular pathway that can limit muscle repair, a finding that may guide future muscular dystrophy treatments.

Fast-twitch fibers help with explosive movements like sprinting and weight lifting. Genetics and training influence the distribution of fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers. Doing strength ...
