And while there are thousands of peptides with various functions, copper peptides, specifically, are generating interest in ...

You may not be able to grow bigger muscles out of thin air, but you can 3D print them in microgravity, scientists at ETH Zurich have now established. "3D printing" refers to a type of manufacturing ...

Abstract: This paper presents a 3D-printed flexible device for quantifying the concentric contractile force of in vitro smooth muscle tissue. The device features circularly arranged flexible pillars ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have successfully 3D printed human muscle tissue during parabolic flights simulating zero gravity, marking a step forward in efforts to produce biologically accurate tissue ...

Not revised: This Reviewed Preprint includes the authors’ original preprint (without revision), an eLife assessment, public reviews, and a provisional response from the authors. In this study, the ...

When a house is hit by a hurricane, you must first remove the damaged parts before reconstruction can begin. The same applies to our muscles after injuries – and now researchers from Aarhus University ...

This brief review describes recent advances in understanding metabolic control of vascular smooth muscle cells, highlighting the identification of KCNQ5 (K V 7.5 subfamily of voltage-gated K + ...

Adult skeletal muscle tolerates a lack of the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), according to a study led by scientists at the University of Copenhagen. Their results suggest that ...
