Muscles are attached to bones by tendons. Muscles contract to move our bones by pulling on them. However, muscles can only pull; they cannot push. This is why they usually work a joint in pairs. One ...

Researchers have developed a novel method of growing whole muscles from hydrogel sheets impregnated with myoblasts. They then incorporated these muscles as antagonistic pairs into a biohybrid robot, ...

Recent therapeutic successes have renewed interest in drug combinations, but experimental screening approaches are costly and often identify only small numbers of synergistic combinations. The DREAM ...

Tokyo - The new field of biohybrid robotics involves the use of living tissue within robots, rather than just metal and plastic. Muscle is one potential key component of such robots, providing the ...
