Rest assured, the hype is real. Hypertrophy is, by definition, the enlargement of an organ or tissue from the increase in ...

MIT researchers tackled these limitations by developing STAMP, a simple and scalable method to precisely pattern contractile ...

Scaling up biohybrid robots has been difficult due to the weak contractile force of lab-grown muscles, the risk of necrosis ...

(C) Next, the nucleus and the cell body are pushed forward through intracellular contraction forces mediated by stress fibers. (D) Then, retraction fibers pull the rear of the cell forward.
