Building functional human muscle in the laboratory has long been a goal of regenerative medicine, but one stubborn obstacle ...

Combining lab-grown muscle tissue with a series of flexible mechanical joints has led to the development of an artificial hand that can grip and make gestures. The breakthrough shows the way forward ...

Cell sheets are guided to form anchored, scaffold-free constructs for in vitro modeling by providing pillars that act as anchors for otherwise anchorless cell sheets. Credit: Advanced Functional ...

As we age, the muscles we rely on for daily activities tend to become less reliable. With enough decline, even normal movements such as getting out of bed become risky. Low muscle mass in the ...

A groundbreaking development has come from researchers at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan. They've created a biohybrid hand, a fusion of lab-grown muscle tissue and mechanical ...

Taking collagen supplements regularly supports bone and muscle health in adults, improving strength and quality of life.

Swallowing is a fundamental human function that supports nutrition and communication. Damage to swallowing muscles can reduce quality of life and even lead to aspiration pneumonia or malnutrition.

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 ...

When a house is hit by a hurricane, you must first remove the damaged parts before reconstruction can begin. The same applies to our muscles after injuries – and now researchers from Aarhus University ...
