Stimulating muscle fibers with magnets causes them to grow in the same direction, aligning muscle cells within tissue, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Boston University investigators ...

Over the last decade, advances in 3D printing have unlocked new possibilities for bioengineers to build heart tissues and structures. Their goals include creating better in vitro platforms for ...

This illustration depicts the novel electrohydrodynamic (EHD) bioprinting process. The electrical force aligns fibrin nanofibers within the bioprinted hydrogel filament, which in turn guides the ...

Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is a highly effective technique for fabricating cell-loaded constructs in tissue engineering. However, the versatility of fabricating precise and complex cell-loaded ...

Passive mechanical properties of skeletal muscles are crucial for joint stability and optimal muscle function, as well as being sensitive to tissue remodeling due to injury and disease. This ...

A research team at POSTECH has developed a new imaging technique that can analyze the structural health of tissues, such as the heart and tendons, without any staining. The method quantitatively ...

When you picture different athletes—marathon runners, gymnasts, and Olympic weightlifters, for example—you likely categorize them instinctively by their height, size, and build. But the differences in ...

Stimulating muscle fibers with magnets causes them to grow in the same direction, aligning muscle cells within tissue. The findings offer a simpler, less time-consuming way for medical researchers to ...
