Scaling up biohybrid robots has been difficult due to the weak contractile force of lab-grown muscles, the risk of necrosis ...

But classical differentiation protocols to create these muscle cells are long, complex and difficult to reproduce. An advanced technique now allows human iPSCs to be converted into striated ...

Human muscle cells are large cells, with a diameter of up to 100 micrometers, or slightly larger than the width of a human hair, and they can grow up to 12 centimeters long (almost 5 inches).

To test whether the neurons were functional, the researchers injected them into the brains of rats treated with a neurotoxin ...

How muscle changes with aging and tries to fight its effects is now better understood at the cellular and molecular level ...

A new study published in Nature Cardiovascular Research found that while carotid artery narrowing can lead to stroke in both ...

Scientists published more than three dozen papers as part of the Human Cell Atlas, an effort to map the human body cell by cell.

What we do when we need large amount of muscles (meat)? Farm animals. What will large corporations do when they need human muscles at large scale? Grow it in a lab. Yeah, right. What we do when we ...

transforming into all the 200 or so kinds of cells that constitute a human body. Liver cells. Brain cells. Skin, bone, and nerve. The dream is to launch a medical revolution in which ailing organs ...
