Muscle cells were once thought to be the smallest units that experienced contraction. But new research has suggested that smaller sections of muscles cells can experience localized calcium signaling ...

Researchers working at Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering claim to have produced a laboratory first by having grown human muscle tissue that contracts and reacts to stimuli. Electrical ...

Growing contracting human muscles that responds to stimuli like real tissue sounds more like science fiction than modern science. But it has officially been done, and this could mean a whole new world ...

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 ...

Researchers at Duke University made an incredible find in the field of biomimetics: they were able to create artificially grown human muscle that can contract in response to stimuli. The team ...

In a laboratory first, Duke researchers have grown human skeletal muscle that contracts and responds just like native tissue to external stimuli such as electrical pulses, biochemical signals and ...

Ever have a calf cramp wake you up in the middle of the night, or knock you down in the middle of a workout? There's a way to send that cramping, spasming muscle a signal to relax: contract the ...

Pushing the field of regenerative medicine one step further, researchers led by Dr. Paolo Macchiarini, professor of regenerative medicine at Karolinska Institute, have succeed in re-creating one of ...

In a laboratory first, Duke researchers have grown human skeletal muscle that contracts and responds just like native tissue to external stimuli such as electrical pulses, biochemical signals and ...

Researchers have grown human skeletal muscle in the laboratory that, for the first time, contracts and responds just like native tissue to external stimuli such as electrical pulses, biochemical ...
