Researchers developed a way to help people with amputation or paralysis regain limb control. Their optogenetic technique could offer more precise control over muscle contraction, along with a dramatic ...

This discovery changes the way scientists think about aging. It suggests that part of what we call age-related weakness may ...

Building muscles: Muscle stem cells (their nuclei marked in blue) gradually alter their structure and function, becoming adult muscle cells (whose nuclei turn red). Those cells will eventually fuse ...

Those seemingly random kicks or wiggles a newborn baby makes have a purpose. With each movement, the baby is developing its sensorimotor system, which it will later use to perform sequential movements ...

An investigation on the International Space Station to learn more about exactly how cells sense gravity could help scientists figure out ways to prevent that muscle loss, in space and on Earth People ...

These strength and transition drills helped PT Meghan Callaway learn one of the toughest bodyweight moves ...

MIT researchers have developed a way to help people with amputation or paralysis regain limb control. Instead of using electricity to stimulate muscles, they used light. Here, Guillermo Herrera-Arcos ...
