DURHAM, N.C. -- Biomedical engineers have grown living skeletal muscle that looks a lot like the real thing. It contracts powerfully and rapidly, integrates into mice quickly, and for the first time, ...

Human muscle tissue which contracts realistically has been grown in a laboratory for the first time. It could allow researchers to test new drugs and study diseases outside of the human body.

In a laboratory first, Duke researchers have grown human skeletal muscle that contracts and responds just like native tissue to external stimuli such as electrical pulses, biochemical signals and ...

Skeletal muscle is one of the most abundant tissue types in the human body, but has proven difficult to produce in large quantities in the lab. Unlike other cell types, such as heart cells, neurons ...

A biotechnology start-up developing lab-grown human muscle tissue has secured £325,000 in investment to accelerate its technology. Myomaker Bio, a spin-out from Loughborough University, has raised the ...

Serious sports injuries and disease can damage people's muscles and affect their quality of life. But now there is new hope as scientists have created living muscle that not only functions like the ...
