The flexibility of biohybrid robots could allow them to squeeze and twist through areas that are too small or complex.

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

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 ...

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

This process leads to satellite cells multiplying and their daughter cells migrating to the damaged tissue. Here, they fuse with skeletal muscle and donate their nuclei to the muscle fibers ...

The heart is used as an example of an organ which is made up from muscle and valve tissue. Using a microscope, students could examine a range of different tissues. They should go on to draw ...

This pattern is formed by a series of basic units called sarcomeres that are arranged in a stacked pattern throughout muscle tissue (Figure 1). There can be thousands of sarcomeres within a single ...
