Cultured meat is grown from animal muscle cells, and animal serum is required to promote the growth of these cells. However, the use of serum poses significant challenges because of its high cost and ...

One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal's body carries an identical genome yet ...

As the world's population increases, cultivated or lab-grown meat -- animal muscle and fat cells grown in laboratory conditions -- has emerged as a potential way to satisfy future protein needs. And ...

Learn how mapping gene-control switches in an ancient sea anemone reveals how identical DNA can produce many different cell types.

“Expression tells us what cells do, but regulatory DNA tells us where they come from, how they develop, and which germ layer ...

A study published in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise found that both plant-based diets and animal-based diets equally promote muscle growth when daily protein intake is adequate, according ...

Muscles are formed by the merging of many small myoblasts into larger myofibers. This fusion of mononucleated myoblasts with a single nucleus into multinucleated myofibers with multiple nuclei is an ...

Biohybrid robots work by combining biological components like muscles, plant material, and even fungi with non-biological materials. While we are pretty good at making the non-biological parts work, ...

Researchers have developed a system where liver cells and photosynthetic microorganisms can be grown together to create a low-cost, environmentally friendly medium to grow muscle cells without the use ...
