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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Synthetics startup Ras Labs is working with the International Space Station to test “smart materials” that contract like living tissue. These “electroactive” materials can expand, contract and conform ...

Biomedical engineers have developed lab-grown skeletal muscles that can flex as strongly as the natural-born items, work the way they're supposed to when they're implanted in mice — and even heal ...

New research shows that exercise is a key step in building a muscle-like implant in the lab with the potential to repair muscle damage from injury or disease. In mice, these implants successfully ...

A team of researchers from Duke University have grown human skeletal muscles in the laboratory -- muscles that actually function and react to stimuli like their real counterparts. In order to do so, ...

Building muscle depends on several factors and isn't something that'll happen overnight after just one workout.

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 ...

Muscle Lab, a muscle recovery and wellness lounge popular with professional athletes and celebrities, has announced the grand opening of its second location on Ventura Blvd. in Studio City. The ...
