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

Researchers are 3D printing human muscle in zero gravity to create better disease models and improve astronaut health during space missions.

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 ...

When you feel pain shooting through a joint midway through a squat or feel a strain in your muscle that you’re afraid will ...

Digital modelling of legendary fossil's soft tissue suggests Australopithecus afarensis had powerful leg and pelvic muscles suited to tree dwelling, but knee muscles that allowed fully erect walking.

Ancient human relatives ran on two legs, like modern humans, but at a much slower pace, suggest 3D computer simulations of Australopithecus afarensis – a small hominin that lived more than three ...

For most people, swallowing is second nature, but how does it occur, and why do some people have difficulty with it? Researchers at Kyushu University in Japan have started to tackle these questions by ...
