Building functional human muscle in the laboratory has long been a goal of regenerative medicine, but one stubborn obstacle ...

Human health is the Achilles heel of space travel. Researchers at ETH Zurich have now succeeded in printing complex muscle tissue in zero gravity. This will enable drugs for space missions to be ...

Mount Sinai's Cardiovascular Research Institute is sending bioengineered human heart muscle cells and micro-tissues into space for the first time on NASA's 29 th SpaceX commercial resupply services ...

Hidden inside every organ, microscopic fibers form a scaffolding that quietly shapes how we move, think, and heal. For the first time, scientists have produced detailed maps of these fiber webs across ...

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 ...

A multidisciplinary team have built hydrogels built entirely from synthetic peptides so their properties can be precisely ...

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 ...

The human body is a wonderous thing, especially when you consider how intricate and efficient each bodily system is. For instance, an adult’s blood vessels could encircle the earth 2.5 times if ...

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 ...
