Lipton and his colleagues have created a new class of deployable structures that could one day be used to create artificial ...

Muscle-on-chip systems are three-dimensional human muscle cell bundles cultured on collagen scaffolds. A Stanford University research team sent some of these systems to the International Space Station ...

As astronauts lose muscle mass due to the microgravity environment in space, could there be a way to monitor it so they can take necessary steps to prevent further muscle loss? This is what a recent ...

With prolonged space missions on the horizon, scientists are racing to understand how microgravity affects the human body and how drugs could mitigate some of those effects. When you purchase through ...

Tissue samples sent to the International Space Station reveal what can happen to astronauts on long-term missions. Without gravity, your muscles don't really need to work very hard. This may sound ...
