They had each lost slabs of muscle to bomb blasts or other physical traumas, then struggled to regain even partial function of their mangled legs. Pig bladders help wounded humans regrow damaged ...

The New Science of Muscle. Pioneering research has altered our basic understanding of how you build strength. With this game plan, you'll use all that new knowledge to fuel faster gains.

Scientists have developed a variety of origami-inspired artificial muscles that can lift up to a thousand times their own weight — and yet be dexterous enough to grip and raise a delicate flower.

Drawing inspiration from human gait, researchers from Japan crafted a two-legged biohybrid robot by combining muscle tissues and artificial materials. This method allows the robot to walk and ...

Muscles allow incredibly fine control of movement, along with violent bursts of exertion. As a result, there has been a steady stream of attempts to craft artificial muscles.

Even so, Gottschall says it's hard to draw an exact figure of the optimal amount of time under tension for muscle growth from the existing literature. (Image credit: Getty) ...

It may one day be possible to use cell transplants to treat muscular dystrophy. A new study used skeletal muscle stem cells to rebuild brawn in mice with faulty muscle-making genes, researchers ...
