A research team comprising of researchers from Italy, Israel and the United Kingdom has been successful in generating mature and functional skeletal muscle (Tibialis anterior muscle in the leg) from engineered cells in a dish. The subsequent graft was then implanted close to a normal, contracting skeletal muscle in mice, where the new muscle was nurtured and grown. Over a period this method could allow for patient-specific treatments for a large number of muscle disorders. ...
