BYU Professor David Thomson is working to understand a chemical pathway in human muscles that may explain the effects of exercise. Thomson, a cell biology and physiology professor, began his muscle ...

Muscle-on-chip systems are three-dimensional human muscle cell bundles cultured on collagen scaffolds. A Stanford University research team sent some of these systems to the International Space Station ...

A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a scissor gesture has been created. The researchers used thin strings of lab-grown muscle tissue bundled into sushilike rolls to give the fingers enough ...

That’s not a vanity statement for those who want to look good or a performance issue for those who want to be better, stronger, and faster. It’s a medical issue and has been for a long time. And if ...

The day is coming when you may walk past a robot and have no idea it was a robot. Over years of engineering, we've given robots skeletons, brains, senses, and even a nervous system. Muscles have ...

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 ...
