Working human muscle tissue grown from skin-derived stem cells

A cross section of a muscle fiber grown from induced pluripotent stem cells.

Back in 2015, a team at Duke University made a world-first breakthrough, growing functioning human muscle tissue in a laboratory using cells from muscle biopsies called myogenic precursors. Now the research has leapt forward with working muscle being successfully grown from scratch using pluripotent stem cells.
