The human body is a wonderous thing, especially when you consider how intricate and efficient each bodily system is. For instance, an adult’s blood vessels could encircle the earth 2.5 times if ...

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 ...

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

ETH Zurich 3D printed human muscle in microgravity, advancing space bioprinting and biomedical research beyond Earth.

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

Biohybrid robots work by combining biological components like muscles, plant material, and even fungi with non-biological materials. While we are pretty good at making the non-biological parts work, ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have discovered that the gut's rhythmic muscle movements could help ...
