The story so far
A Chinese regenerative medicine team has grown lab muscle grafts that boost strength and mass in mice. According to DongA Science, the grafts are designed to self-contract, mimicking the effects of exercise.
The team's work has garnered attention from several outlets, including New Scientist, which describes the development as a "workout patch." The South China Morning Post notes that the implants may eliminate the need for physical exercise. Nature and Medical Xpress both emphasize the anti-aging benefits of these contractile myografts.
The current state of research focuses on the systemic benefits observed in mice, with no contradictions between outlets.
