A soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is a malignant tumor that starts in soft tissue such as muscle, deep skin tissues, cartilage, or fat. It often occurs as a lump in the arm, although it can happen anywhere.

Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is a type of cancerous tumor that can grow in the body’s soft tissues. If it occurs in the thigh, it may feel like a person has a lump in their thigh, though symptoms may not ...

Engineers developed a method to grow artificial muscle tissue that twitches and flexes in multiple, coordinated directions. These tissues could be useful for building 'biohybrid' robots powered by ...

NSTI or NF is known as a flesh-eating disease. NSTI infects the tissue covering your muscles and the tissue under all the skin layers (subcutaneous). The infection causes these tissues to die ...

It has been a long endeavor to create biohybrid robots – machines powered by lab-grown muscle as potential actuators. The flexibility of biohybrid robots could allow them to squeeze and twist through ...

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 ...

Engineers designed modular, spring-like devices to maximize the work of live muscle fibers so they can be harnessed to power biohybrid robots. Our muscles are nature's perfect actuators -- devices ...
