A “biohybrid” robotic hand built using real human muscle cells A real bit of cyborg hardware highlights the technology's current limitations.

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

Scientists in Japan have developed a robotic hand eerily reminiscent of The Terminator. The innovation marks a major step toward realistic prosthetics, moving us closer to sci-fi-style robotic ...

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 ...

A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a scissor gesture has been created. The researchers used thin strings of lab-grown muscle tissue bundled into sushilike rolls to give the fingers ...

The hand is made of a 3D-printed plastic base, with tendons of human muscle tissue which move the fingers. Until now, biohybrid devices have typically been on a much smaller scale (about 1 ...

Find out about back muscles, including their types and functions. Learn about the symptoms of back injury and how to strengthen your back muscles.

No matter how much you work on getting those perfectly toned abs, you will never be able to get that coveted V-shaped body ...

Split hand syndrome is a potential sign of ALS, and it develops when there is a loss of muscles in the hand (known as muscle waste), causing weakness and motor difficulties.

Extrinsic muscles of the hand, refer to muscles whose origin is proximal to the hand itself. They then exert a flexion or extension action via their long tendons.

A simple finger force requires the co-activation of several intrinsic and extrinsic hand muscles as well as those of the wrist, some of which may be weak, shortened, stiff, painful, etc. Even if ...
