Researchers at Utah State University are using silkworm silk to grow skeletal muscle cells, improving on traditional methods of cell culture and hopefully leading to better treatments for muscle atrophy.
When scientists are trying to understand disease and test treatments, they generally grow model cells on a flat plastic surface (think petri dish).
