Computer terminals contain instructional software and offer Internet access so students can use online gross anatomy resources in the lab. Our gross anatomy lab also serves as a training facility for ...

These tissues were then attached to a 3D-printed plastic hand having moveable joints and measuring about 18 cm (7 in) long. "Our key achievement was developing the MuMuTAs," said Shoji Takeuchi ...

The researchers used thin strings of lab-grown muscle tissue bundled into sushilike rolls to give the fingers enough strength to contract. These multiple muscle tissue actuators (MuMuTAs), created ...

Building and maintaining healthy skeletal muscles is crucial for all stages of life. Skeletal muscle makes up 30–40% of an adult human’s body mass and is vital not just for breathing and movement, but ...

In native skeletal muscle, densely packed myofibers exist in close contact with surrounding motor neurons and blood vessels, which are embedded in the fibrous connective tissue. In comparison to ...

A consequence of these findings is that a single collagen content measurement does not accurately represent a muscle’s complex distribution of connective tissue. Future studies should account for ...
