Repeated exercise, or wasting, can change the way key genes work.

More than 30 types of muscular dystrophy have been identified. They all cause problems with movement due to muscle protein defects caused by genetic mutations. Muscular dystrophy is a group of ...

How muscle changes with ageing, and tries to fight its effects, is now better understood at the cellular and molecular level with the first comprehensive atlas of ageing muscles in humans. Researchers ...

There are different types of neck pain that can affect your muscles, nerves, or other nearby tissues. Each has different causes and different treatments that might be effective. Neck pain may result ...

There's a lot of talk about lean muscle compared to bulk muscle, but experts say it's not worth differentiating the two.

Biohybrid robots work by combining biological components like muscles, plant material, and even fungi with non-biological materials. While we are pretty good at making the non-biological parts work, ...

Biological muscles act as flexible actuators, generating force naturally and with an impressive range of motion. Unsurprisingly, scientists and engineers have been striving to build artificial muscles ...

That’s not a vanity statement for those who want to look good or a performance issue for those who want to be better, stronger, and faster. It’s a medical issue and has been for a long time. And if ...

Scientists discovered that lean pork builds muscle more effectively post-workout than high-fat pork, even with identical protein levels. Using advanced tracking techniques, they found that fat content ...

On Wednesday, Clone Robotics released video footage of its Protoclone humanoid robot, a full-body machine that uses synthetic muscles to create unsettlingly human-like movements. In the video, the ...
