Now, MIT engineers have taken a major step toward developing robots that replace rigid gears with something much softer – almost like real, living muscle tissue. In other words, they have found a way ...

Tissue-engineered skeletal muscle with myoblasts from rheumatoid arthritis patients is more sensitive to 5 ng/mL INF-g than controls, exhibiting reduced forces and altered gene expression ...

The authors isolated and cultured pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC) and pulmonary artery adventitial fibroblasts (PAAF) of the lung samples derived from the patients with idiopathic ...
