Consider the delicate web of fat in a Wagyu steak. The "marbling" that makes carnivore connoisseurs swoon is a visual heuristic for quality flavor. Now, a new study in Cell Reports suggests the very ...

Muscle scraping, or instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), is a therapeutic technique used to enhance muscle recovery, release tension, and improve mobility. It combines ancient ...

Scientists have developed a specially formulated bioink, which contains microparticles engineered for sustained delivery of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). This delivery enhances the formation ...

Researchers have developed a novel bioink that uses a sustained-release hormone to promote the growth and regeneration of 3D-printed muscle tissues. Their approach opens the door to developing new ...

MXene nanoparticle scaffolds have been shown to stimulate muscle growth, making them a promising option to treat muscle loss and damage. Now, researchers explain the molecular mechanisms behind their ...

This new hydrogel system (IT-IC) can protect the gel from destruction by external forces. In conventional covalently crosslinked hydrogels (e.g., methacrylated hyaluronic acid, referred to as MeHA), ...
