Researchers at Duke University have grown the first ever human muscle in a lab that contracts just like naturally grown tissue. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she hopes to get you as ...

Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a new class of protein-based fibers modeled on the aligned ...

Connective tissue cells can now be transformed into muscle stem cells without genetic engineering. This approach could prove relevant for therapeutic applications in patients with muscle diseases. In ...

Biomedical engineers have grown muscles in a lab to better understand and test treatments for a group of extremely rare muscle disorders called dysferlinopathy or limb girdle muscular dystrophies 2B ...

Lab-grown muscle isn’t new. In 2013, a group of researchers created enough muscle to make a burger that they could eat. But until recently, researchers weren’t able to grow muscle that could contract ...

These muscle cells were grown in a lab, but they are indistinguishable from what you grow in your body. They jump when shocked with electricity. They respond to drugs just the way cells in your ...

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 ...

Duke University researchers create living skeletal muscle that looks and acts very much like the real thing -- even down to repairing itself. Then they attack it. Freelancer Michael Franco writes ...

Exercise can 'almost completely' prevent chronic inflammation that causes muscle to waste away, a study in lab-grown human tissue has revealed. Inflammation occurs when our body's immune system ...

In the laboratory, the team reared satellite cells taken from rodent muscles. These stem cells help fix injuries in muscle tissue, but implanting satellite cells by themselves doesn’t seem to help ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a new technique to better understand and test treatments for a group of extremely rare muscle disorders called dysferlinopathy or limb girdle ...
