In a laboratory first, Duke researchers have grown human skeletal muscle that contracts and responds just like native tissue to external stimuli such as electrical pulses, biochemical signals and ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a new technique to better understand and test treatments for a group of extremely rare muscle disorders called dysferlinopathy or limb girdle ...

A team of researchers out of Duke University recently announced they’ve grown human skeletal muscle in a dish. The muscle responds to electrical impulses, biochemical signals, and drugs just like ...

These scientists are not “mad,” but they have inadvertently created quite a creature: It is a mouse with a window in its back and an artificial and self-regenerating muscle. The mouse, which can be ...

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – July 16, 2012 – New research shows that exercise is a key step in building a muscle-like implant in the lab with the potential to repair muscle damage from injury or disease. In ...

Anyone who’s ever torn a muscle will be grateful for that fact that the fibers can repair themselves. But now, researchers have developed lab-grown muscle that can achieve the exact same thing.

Most people who have sweated it out in the gym trying to add a bit of muscle definition to their bodies will know just how difficult such a task is, but trying to grow muscle tissue with a real muscle ...

Human muscle tissue which contracts realistically has been grown in a laboratory for the first time. It could allow researchers to test new drugs and study diseases outside of the human body.

Duke University researchers have grown a contracting human muscle in a lab and captured it on video. The muscle acts like one found inside the body would, responding to drugs, electrical pulses and ...

A microscopic view of lab-grown human muscle bundles stained to show patterns made by basic muscle units and their associated proteins (red), which are a hallmark of the human muscle. Duke University ...
