Combining lab-grown muscle tissue with a series of flexible mechanical joints has led to the development of an artificial ...

Myosin II plays the most important role in cellular force generation. Myosin II molecules self-assemble into filaments with different structures depending on myosin II isoforms and other conditions ...

Protein complex in bacterial cell membrane acts like a rotary motor to recruit DNA-degrading enzymes to defend against phage ...

This technology is a significant advancement in biohybrid prosthetics, with applications in medicine, rehabilitation, and ...

A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a scissor gesture has been created. The researchers used thin strings of lab-grown muscle tissue bundled into sushilike rolls to give the fingers enough ...

A robot hand powered by lab-grown muscles is challenging you to a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors – do you accept? Here’s ...

A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a scissor gesture has been built by a team at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan. The researchers used thin strings of lab-grown ...
