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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new study reveals that vesicles packed with healthy mitochondria can supercharge tissue repair and combat chronic disease, paving the way for next-generation regenerative treatments. Study: ...

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 ...

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 ...
