MIT engineers grew an artificial, muscle-powered structure that pulls both concentrically and radially, much like how the iris in the human eye acts to dilate and constrict the pupil. We move thanks ...

MIT engineers 3D print multidirectional muscle tissue that flexes like the human iris - opening new paths for biohybrid ...

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

The findings were published in Science Robotics, showcasing the potential of integrating biological systems with robotic frameworks. The biohybrid hand operates using “MuMuTAs” (multiple muscle tissue ...

location of injury within the muscle and integrity of the connective tissue structure at the interface. The muscle tears were graded 0–3 depending on the degree of muscle and connective tissue injury.
