A combination of pain syndromes in the neck and shoulder joints creates a significant burden on the healthcare system and has important social and economic significance. Treatment of these pathologies ...

Interorgan communication between bone and skeletal muscle is central to human health. A dysregulation of bone–muscle crosstalk is implicated in several age-related diseases. Ageing-associated changes ...

Most robots rely on rigid, bulky parts that limit their adaptability, strength, and safety in real-world environments. Researchers developed soft, battery-powered artificial muscles inspired by human ...

The day is coming when you may walk past a robot and have no idea it was a robot. Over years of engineering, we've given robots skeletons, brains, senses, and even a nervous system. Muscles have ...

Children who start to walk and jump earlier are more likely to have stronger bones later on in life, research shows. A study, published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, has demonstrated an ...

Future robots could soon have a lot more muscle power. Northwestern University engineers have developed a soft artificial muscle, paving the way for untethered animal- and human-scale robots. The new ...
