How long does it take to build muscle? It depends on factors like diet and exercise. Here, experts explain how they grow and what to do for bigger muscles.

The impact of circadian disruption on muscle health and aging has been uncovered. A research team at King’s College London (UK) has uncovered the intrinsic and extrinsic effects that circadian ...

Now, MIT engineers have taken a major step toward developing robots that replace rigid gears with something much softer – almost like real, living muscle tissue.

Kurt “CyberGuy" Knutsson talks about how lab-grown muscles power a biohybrid hand for scalable prosthetics and research.

Scientists at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan have developed a Terminator-like hand powered by lab-grown muscle tissues, known as multiple muscle tissue actuators (MuMuTAs ...

A Terminator-like hand that uses lab-grown muscle tissue and robotics to move has been developed. Researchers say the creepy innovation is a major development towards building larger biohybrid ...

Combining lab-grown muscle tissue with a series of flexible mechanical joints has led to the development of an artificial hand that can grip and make gestures. The breakthrough shows the way ...

Using real muscle tissue does however come with some downsides, as anyone who has been to the gym may know. "While not entirely surprising, it was interesting that the contractile force of the ...
