Building functional human muscle in the laboratory has long been a goal of regenerative medicine, but one stubborn obstacle ...

Duke University researchers have grown the first functional human skeletal muscle tissue entirely from induced human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). The achievement could feasibly allow scientists to ...

Muscles make up nearly 40% of the human body and power every move we make, from a child's first steps to recovery after injury. For some, however, muscle development goes awry, leading to weakness, ...

In a world first, biomedical engineers from Duke University have created the first functioning human skeletal muscle from pluripotent stem cells, which are capable of producing any form of body cell ...
