To work toward getting around this issue, researchers used parabolic flights to simulate microgravity conditions, then 3D ...

Muscle-on-chip systems are three-dimensional human muscle cell bundles cultured on collagen scaffolds. A Stanford University research team sent some of these systems to the International Space Station ...

ETH Zurich scientists 3D print muscle tissue in simulated zero gravity, paving the way for growing human tissue in space.

A team of researchers has developed a simple lab-based system for growing human muscle cells that are capable of vigorously contracting. A team of researchers at Tohoku University have developed a ...

Preventing muscle loss in space is simple: Just spend an hour a day in a giant human centrifuge that's spinning at 30 rotations per minute. And don't lose your lunch. In the first human experiment ...

With the intensification of global population aging, muscle atrophy, characterized by the loss of muscle mass and function, has become an important health issue affecting the elderly. Researchers have ...

For years, anecdotes and some studies have suggested that chimpanzees are 'super strong' compared to humans, implying that their muscle fibers are superior to humans'. Now a research team reports that ...
