- Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, are specialized cells designed for contraction and force production. Skeletal Muscle Cells: These cells are long, cylindrical, and have a striated (or striped) ...

A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a scissor gesture has been built by a team at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan. The researchers used thin strings of lab-grown ...

Weight loss is often framed as a simple equation of eating less and moving more, but that explanation misses one of the most important drivers of long-term fat loss: muscle. Gaining muscle changes how ...
