Stimulating muscle fibers with magnets causes them to grow in the same direction, aligning muscle cells within tissue. The findings offer a simpler, less time-consuming way for medical researchers to ...

MXene nanoparticle scaffolds have been shown to stimulate muscle growth, making them a promising option to treat muscle loss and damage. Now, researchers explain the molecular mechanisms behind their ...

In context: Making robots more biologically compatible has been a challenge scientists have been tackling for years. Until now, they have primarily been able to create lab-grown muscle fibers that ...

Scientists finally identify why statins can cause the 'painful' side effect in some people ...

Statins reduce heart attack and stroke risk but can cause muscle pain in some users. A new study reveals statins trigger calcium leaks in muscle cells by binding to a key protein, explaining side ...
