Researchers in Japan have taken a major step forward in biohybrid robotics by developing a hand powered by lab-grown muscle tissue. A collaborative effort between the University of Tokyo and Waseda ...

Beef is growing in the Petri dishes of ETH professor Ori Bar-Nur, an expert in regenerative and muscle biology. However, he hasn't yet tasted the cultivated meat because human consumption requires ...

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 ...

NUS scientists have developed a self-training method that strengthens lab-grown muscle tissues around the clock, and used them to power a living-muscle robot that swims faster than any of its ...

A Loughborough University spin-out that aims to revolutionise drug testing using lab-grown human muscles has been given a ...

Before long-term space travel is a reality, scientists must solve a hurdle of biology: Our bodies break down in space. Some 40% of the human body by weight is skeletal muscle—the kind that moves limbs ...
