A new study generated one of the most comprehensive spatially resolved transcriptomic maps of cellular communication between ...

Researchers at Imperial College London have discovered that specialist macrophages—a type of white blood cell—play a key role in the control of muscle contraction and locomotion. The discovery ...

Most robots rely on rigid, bulky parts that limit their adaptability, strength, and safety in real-world environments. Researchers developed soft, battery-powered artificial muscles inspired by human ...

The day is coming when you may walk past a robot and have no idea it was a robot. Over years of engineering, we've given robots skeletons, brains, senses, and even a nervous system. Muscles have ...

Researchers have discovered a biological switch that explains why movement keeps bones strong. The protein senses physical activity and pushes bone marrow stem cells to build bone instead of storing ...

Children who start to walk and jump earlier are more likely to have stronger bones later on in life, research shows. A study, published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, has demonstrated an ...

Future robots could soon have a lot more muscle power. Northwestern University engineers have developed a soft artificial muscle, paving the way for untethered animal- and human-scale robots. The new ...
