Goodbye muscle injuries? A “gold” gel promises miracles
A hydrogel enhanced with gold nanoparticles could aid in muscle regeneration after serious injuries or injuries
3D printed muscles: a bioink can change the rules of the game
The Terasaki Institute develops a bioink that uses a hormone to promote the growth of 3D printed muscle tissue.
Urolithin A proves effective against muscular dystrophy
The natural compound Urolithin A achieves excellent results in Duchenne muscular dystrophy in mice. We await those of human tests.
Researchers use the silkworm to shape muscle tissue
Traditional cell cultures are two-dimensional and unreliable: a new muscle tissue built using silk promises to give us a credible model.
New study: Glutamine crucial for regenerating muscles from injury and aging
Glutamine appears to play a formidable role in muscle regeneration. Not only in case of damage, but also due to degeneration and aging. A study appears to have found a key to unlocking its power.
Sestrin, new confirmations: the protein replaces physical exercise
La Sestrina has overcome all perplexities. It is definitive, on flies and mice it can replace exercise. When is a "gym pill" for men?
Glucose-powered artificial muscles such as humans
The artificial muscles developed by the Linköping University team are made of polymeric material into which enzymes have been introduced: a solution of oxygen and glucose in water powers the actuators, just as happens in human muscles.
