A muscle biopsy is a minor surgical procedure. Doctors order them to help diagnose certain diseases that involve muscles. During a muscle biopsy, a small piece of tissue is removed from a specific ...

Researchers have developed a novel bioink that uses a sustained-release hormone to promote the growth and regeneration of 3D-printed muscle tissues. Their approach opens the door to developing new ...

Stimulating muscle fibers with magnets causes them to grow in the same direction, aligning muscle cells within tissue. The findings offer a simpler, less time-consuming way for medical researchers to ...

In context: Making robots more biologically compatible has been a challenge scientists have been tackling for years. Until now, they have primarily been able to create lab-grown muscle fibers that ...
