Japanese team replicates movement in small muscle grown from rat cells
TOKYO, Japan - University of Tokyo Professor Shoji Takeuchi holds a bottle containing an artificial joint at the university's Institute of Industrial Science in Tokyo's Meguro Ward on Oct. 24, 2014. A team led by Takeuchi has succeeded in replicating contraction and stretching in a small muscle grown from rat cells. The team attached two artificial muscle tissues to either side of a 2-centimeter-long artificial joint and was able to contract and stretch them smoothly by applying an electric stimulus.
