They've created a biohybrid hand, a fusion of lab-grown muscle tissue and mechanical engineering, capable of gripping and making gestures. This innovation paves the way for a new generation of ...

Building muscle isn’t just a matter of showing up and working out however and whenever you want. Looking in the mirror ...

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

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

Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have now created a technique for creating synthetic muscle tissue that ...

known as multiple muscle tissue actuators (MuMuTAs). Published in Science Robotics on February 12, the creepy, futuristic limb can move objects and do a scissor gesture, marking a major ...

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 exact role of a tissue in an organism depends on what types of cells it contains. For example, the endothelial tissue that lines the human gastrointestinal tract consists of several cell types.
