Bernie begs to know…My teeth are really sensitive to hot and cold. Would a natural toothpaste be better for me?

A novel implant seeded with muscle cells could better integrate prosthetic limbs with the body, allowing amputees greater control over robotic appendages. The construct, developed at the University of Michigan, consists of tiny cups, …

The researchers created what they called a “bio-artificial neuromuscular junction,” composed of muscle cells and a nano-sized polymer placed on a biological scaffold. Neuromuscular junctions are the body’s own nerve- muscle connections …

Modern tissue engineering developed at the University of Michigan could improve the function of prosthetic hands and possibly restore the sense of touch for injured patients.
