Oct. 1 (UPI) --By tapping into the immune system, researchers have developed a way to help adult muscle tissue heal by regenerating in the lab, according to a study of mice. Biomedical engineers at ...

Biomedical engineers have grown muscles in a lab to better understand and test treatments for a group of extremely rare muscle disorders called dysferlinopathy or limb girdle muscular dystrophies 2B ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a new technique to better understand and test treatments for a group of extremely rare muscle disorders called dysferlinopathy or limb girdle ...

Accomplishing perhaps a world first, researchers at Columbia University and the UChicago-affiliated Marine Biological Laboratory have mapped the full-body muscular activity of an animal while it was ...

Researchers at the International Space Station National Laboratory (ISS National Lab) and the University of Florida have modeled age-related muscle loss by using tissue chips in microgravity.

Over time, this muscular "self-defense mechanism" may help people preserve muscle mass and stave off some of the most common, deadly diseases plaguing modern humans. "We found that exercising muscle ...

The immune system's macrophage cells are critical to growing muscle tissues in a lab, say the biomedical engineers who earlier reported the world's first self-healing lab-grown muscles. The discovery ...
