Abstract: We examined the structural features of muscle spindles at the equatorial and juxtaequatorial regions in the extensor digitorum longus muscle of adult (12 months) and aged (25 months) rats.

These tissues could be useful for building 'biohybrid' robots powered by soft, artificially grown muscle fibers. We move thanks to coordination among many skeletal muscle fibers, all twitching and ...

When you hop, run or jump, your legs behave like springs, absorbing and returning energy with each step. But what happens to ...

Your muscle fibers are malleable and the secret to getting faster at running everything from the 5K to the marathon lies in your cells.
