According to a study, robots built with lab-grown skeletal muscle tissue could require physical exercises similar to those of ...

Now, MIT engineers have taken a major step toward developing robots that replace rigid gears with something much softer – ...

The Lawrence Family Bone Disease Program of Texas provides services to assist investigators in the bone disease program working with skeletal tissues. See information for each service available: ...

Engineers developed a method to grow artificial muscle tissue that twitches and flexes in multiple, coordinated directions. These tissues could be useful for building 'biohybrid' robots powered by ...

Connective tissues consist of ligaments, cartilage and tendons. A joint is held together by ligaments which give the joints their stability. Cartilage is found at the ends of bones and where ...

Patients with degenerative diseases that attack skeletal muscle tissues, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, may soon benefit from novel stem cell therapies. A study has demonstrated how new ...

In affected people, insulin is unable to facilitate the uptake of glucose through tissues and organs, leading to an increase in blood glucose (chronic hyperglycaemia). Since skeletal muscle is the ...

Raman notes that the team’s artificial iris is fabricated with skeletal muscle cells, which are involved in voluntary motion, whereas the muscle tissue in the real human iris is made up of ...
