Researchers at Duke University have grown the first ever human muscle in a lab that contracts just like naturally grown tissue. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she hopes to get you as ...

Biomedical engineers have grown muscles in a lab to better understand and test treatments for a group of extremely rare muscle disorders called dysferlinopathy or limb girdle muscular dystrophies 2B ...

Duke University researchers create living skeletal muscle that looks and acts very much like the real thing -- even down to repairing itself. Then they attack it. Freelancer Michael Franco writes ...

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 ...

Lab-grown muscle isn’t new. In 2013, a group of researchers created enough muscle to make a burger that they could eat. But until recently, researchers weren’t able to grow muscle that could contract ...

As I’m typing these words, I don’t think about the synchronized muscle contractions that allow my fingers to dance across the keyboard. Or the back muscles that unconsciously tighten to hold myself ...

Inside a lab in Zurich at ETH’s Institute of Human Movement Sciences, researchers are growing beef—not on farms, but in petri dishes. It’s not the first time researchers have cultivated meat in the ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a new technique to better understand and test treatments for a group of extremely rare muscle disorders called dysferlinopathy or limb girdle ...
