For decades, treatment of peripheral artery disease has focused almost exclusively on restoring blood flow. Now, new research ...

BACKGROUND: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) and its severe form, chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), significantly ...

Building functional human muscle in the laboratory has long been a goal of regenerative medicine, but one stubborn obstacle remains: real muscle is not just a mass of cells. Its strength and function ...

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 ...

Musculoskeletal disorders are a primary cause of disability worldwide, especially in aging societies like Japan. As ...

Combining lab-grown muscle tissue with a series of flexible mechanical joints has led to the development of an artificial hand that can grip and make gestures. The breakthrough shows the way forward ...

Researchers found that GLP-1 medicines caused weight loss mainly through fat reduction, with only modest decreases in ...

As we age, the muscles we rely on for daily activities tend to become less reliable. With enough decline, even normal movements such as getting out of bed become risky. Low muscle mass in the ...

A groundbreaking development has come from researchers at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan. They've created a biohybrid hand, a fusion of lab-grown muscle tissue and mechanical ...
