Hidden inside every organ, microscopic fibers form a scaffolding that quietly shapes how we move, think, and heal. For the ...

A newly developed imaging technique has enabled scientists to map microscopic fiber networks in the brain, muscles, and bones ...

A simple light-based method is uncovering hidden fiber networks inside the brain and body, even in tissue slides over 100 years old.

The muscular system works to control the movement of our body and internal organs. Muscle tissue contains something called muscle fibers. Muscle fibers consist of a single muscle cell. They help to ...

Rhabdomyolysis is a condition in which muscle damage—often caused by drug intake—can lead to impaired kidney function and ...

Skeletal muscle is the type of muscle that controls movement. Problems with these muscles can be minor, life-threatening, or ongoing problems that make it hard to perform basic daily activities.

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 ...

From arthritis and heart failure to diabetes and menopause, many conditions are associated with muscle weakness and increased fat deposits. Now a multidisciplinary team of researchers at the ...
