Inside a lab in Zurich at ETH’s Institute of Human Movement Sciences, researchers are growing beef—not on farms, but in petri dishes. It’s not the first time researchers have cultivated meat in the ...

Lab-grown meat could present a kinder and potentially greener alternative to current livestock farming. New specially engineered meat cells could finally bring costs down to a practical level. While ...

The intricate regulation of skeletal muscle mass and regeneration involves a network of growth and differentiation factors that orchestrate cellular proliferation, differentiation and repair. Central ...

A new method allows large quantities of muscle stem cells to be safely obtained in cell culture. This provides a potential for treating patients with muscle diseases -- and for those who would like to ...

ETH Zurich Professor Ori Bar- Nur and his team grow muscle cells in the laboratory. In this case, they are mouse cells, but the researchers are also interested in human and cow cells. Promising ...
