Combining lab-grown muscle tissue with a series of flexible mechanical joints has led to the development of an artificial ...

A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a scissor gesture has been created. The researchers used thin strings of lab-grown muscle tissue bundled into sushilike rolls to give the fingers enough ...

A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a scissor gesture has been built by a team at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan. The researchers used thin strings of lab-grown ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto's Institute of Biomedical Engineering have found that studying blood flow in leg ...

Researchers in Japan have taken a major step forward in biohybrid robotics by developing a hand powered by lab-grown muscle ...

Researchers have discovered a new mechanism that is used by a male sex hormone essential for muscle and bone function. The ...

New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmitting signals in ...

This is an important and solid study that examines the role of TFAM, a protein that helps maintain mtDNA, in mtDNA mutator mice. The authors have demonstrated that TFAM's counteractive role in mtDNA ...

Protein is the main building block of our muscles, tissues, virus-fighting antibodies and more. Experts are increasingly touting the importance of incorporating plant-based sources of protein in ...

This important study focused on characterizing clonally derived MSC populations from the synovium of normal and osteoarthritis (OA) patients, demonstrating their potential to regenerate cartilage in ...

The morphological similarity of such hydrogel sponges to tissue microenvironments in vivo would upregulate cellular functions in in vitro culture platforms. In the present study, we developed a new ...
