New research describes the development of a novel screening platform with automated production of 3D muscle- and tendon-like tissues using 3D bioprinting. There is a strong need for medication that ...

Muscle damage, like tearing your ACL, can be traumatic and lead to economic as well as functional decline in patients suffering from it. While scientists have designed 3D printed approaches to help ...

Accelerating Drug Discovery with Human-Relevant 3D Engineered Muscle Tissue Analysis SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Curi Bio, a leading developer of human stem cell-based platforms for drug discovery, ...

Scientists have developed a specially formulated bioink, which contains microparticles engineered for sustained delivery of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). This delivery enhances the formation ...

Biological organisms (such as elephant trunks, octopus tentacles, and human tongues) show remarkable dexterity and self-adaptation in unstructured environments, relying on the multiple-mode actuations ...

The classic image of a robot is one clad in a rigid metal shell, but that might not be practical in situations where man and machine will need to work together. The emerging field of soft robotics is ...

One of the biggest challenges in soft robotics is getting a robot to move without rigid motors or hard circuitry that restrict the robot’s range of motion. Liquid crystal elastomers (LCE) are powerful ...

Harvard researchers have developed a rotational multimaterial 3D printing technique to create programmable filaments that mimic biological muscles by bending, twisting, expanding, or contracting when ...

There is a strong need for medication that treats age-related degenerative muscle and tendon diseases. A critical bottleneck in the discovery and development of novel drugs for skeletal muscle is the ...
