In the first of its kind to investigate the effects of SPU exercises on patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), authors of a new study published in 2025 in Medicine indicate that SPUs may have ...

Fiber-type artificial muscles offer a breakthrough in robotic actuation, combining biomimetic design with multifunctional ...

It's easy to assume that more is better when it comes to working out, but that’s not necessarily true. In fact, overtraining can leave you tired, sore, and frustrated, especially if you’re not seeing ...

“Our muscles support our joints, so by improving muscle strength you can help reduce impact on your joints,” Dr. West said.

MIT's new hydrogel tendons strengthen muscle-powered robots, achieving 11x higher power-to-weight ratio and improved force transmission for greater efficiency.

The efficacy of functional isometrics lies in their ability to: Increase maximum strength: By focusing on precise positions ...

Our muscles are nature's actuators. The sinewy tissue is what generates the forces that make our bodies move. In recent years, engineers have used real muscle tissue to actuate "biohybrid robots" made ...

Studying several allergens in different mouse strains, the authors assessed the role of IgM in airway inflammatory responses and show that IgM deficient mice have reduced airway hyperresponsiveness.

Early in pregnancy, Molly Ercole already had an idea of what she wanted for her childbirth. "I didn't want to see a different doctor at every appointment," says Ercole, a non-profit ...
