Researchers engineered the first injectable microtissue containing motor and sensory neurons encased in protective tissue, called tissue engineered neuromuscular interfaces (TE-NMIs). The TE-NMI ...

New research suggests that fish oil supplements may accelerate muscle healing in aging rats and muscle cells, potentially offering a solution for quicker recovery from age-related muscle injuries in ...

Rats and their close relatives, including mice, make up nearly a quarter of known mammal species. New research offers a clue to these rodents' success: their bite. Rodents have evolved two feeding ...

Scientists have made an artificial jellyfish out of rat heart muscles and rubbery silicon. When given an electric shock, it swims just like the real thing. Subscribe to read this story ad-free Get ...

The development of the ‘living robot’ was undertaken to see how animal tissue can be integrated with robotic parts. The resultant aqua-robot is no larger than half-an-inch in length and it weighs just ...

Robots made with rat spines could be used to study diseases as they progress through tissues, and may eventually lead to biological prosthetics. Collin Kaufman at the University of Illinois at ...
