Functional vision improvements are reported, with optimal pupil size considerations for varying light conditions being ...

Muscle-derived branched-chain amino acids support thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue, thereby helping maintain body temperature during impaired muscle function or physiological stress.

This dual cross-linking design lets the muscle switch stiffness on demand. In lab tests, its stiffness jumps from about 213 kilopascals — soft, like rubber — to 292 megapascals, hundreds of times ...

Researchers have identified new blood and spinal fluid biomarkers that could help track ALS progression and monitor treatment ...

When you're running up stairs or out on a jog, your muscles eventually start to feel heavy and weak. That's fatigue setting ...

In vertebrates, calcium is stored in bones, and its release is tightly regulated. Now, using fruit flies as a model organism, researchers at University of Tsukuba have shown that even animals without ...

Ion channels generate electrical impulses produced by living cells. Synthetic ion channels could serve as tools for ...

Immunosuppressive medications. Drugs like corticosteroids or azathioprine work by calming the immune system and reducing the ...

Inspired by the human eye, our biomedical engineering lab at Georgia Tech has designed an adaptive lens made of soft, ...

Some studies suggest that creatine supplements may reduce blood pressure, but the evidence is weak. Learn the benefits and ...
