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 ...

Scientists in Japan have developed a robotic hand eerily reminiscent of The Terminator, using lab-grown human muscle tissue to power its movements. The breakthrough, hailed as a major step towards ...

Rhabdomyolysis is a condition in which muscle damage—often caused by drug intake—can lead to impaired kidney function and ...

The complex combination of movements required for this simple scissor gesture is a big step up from the capabilities of previous biohybrid robots. A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a ...

Beef is growing in the Petri dishes of ETH professor Ori Bar-Nur, an expert in regenerative and muscle biology. However, he hasn't yet tasted the cultivated meat because human consumption requires ...

ETH Zurich Professor Ori Bar- Nur and his team grow muscle cells in the laboratory. In this case, they are mouse cells, but the researchers are also interested in human and cow cells. Promising ...

Muscle scraping, or instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), is a therapeutic technique used to enhance muscle recovery, release tension, and improve mobility. It combines ancient ...

Before long-term space travel is a reality, scientists must solve a hurdle of biology: Our bodies break down in space. Some 40% of the human body by weight is skeletal muscle—the kind that moves limbs ...
