Researchers at Duke University have grown the first ever human muscle in a lab that contracts just like naturally grown tissue. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she hopes to get you as ...

Biomedical engineers have grown muscles in a lab to better understand and test treatments for a group of extremely rare muscle disorders called dysferlinopathy or limb girdle muscular dystrophies 2B ...

Scientists have cultivated human muscle stem cells capable of renewing themselves and repairing muscle tissue damage in mice, an advance that may lead to new ways of treating wasting disorders in ...

In the laboratory, the team reared satellite cells taken from rodent muscles. These stem cells help fix injuries in muscle tissue, but implanting satellite cells by themselves doesn’t seem to help ...

is a freelance science journalist, podcast host, comics artist, and TV host. Lab-grown muscle isn’t new. In 2013, a group of researchers created enough muscle to make a burger that they could eat. But ...

Duke University researchers create living skeletal muscle that looks and acts very much like the real thing -- even down to repairing itself. Then they attack it. Freelancer Michael Franco writes ...

As I’m typing these words, I don’t think about the synchronized muscle contractions that allow my fingers to dance across the keyboard. Or the back muscles that unconsciously tighten to hold myself ...

These muscle cells were grown in a lab, but they are indistinguishable from what you grow in your body. They jump when shocked with electricity. They respond to drugs just the way cells in your ...

Inside a lab in Zurich at ETH’s Institute of Human Movement Sciences, researchers are growing beef—not on farms, but in petri dishes. It’s not the first time researchers have cultivated meat in the ...
