Scientists say lab experiment could lead to natural heart pacemaker. July 23, 2012 — -- If you watch the mesmerizing pulses of a jellyfish in water, it might occur to you that they sometimes ...

(LiveScience) Using rat heart cells and silicone polymer, researchers have bioengineered a "jellyfish" that knows how to swim. The odd jellyfish mimic, dubbed a "Medusoid" by its creators, is more ...

(Nanowerk News) Building on recent advances in marine biomechanics, materials science, and tissue engineering, a team of researchers at Harvard University and the California Institute of Technology ...

Cambridge, Mass. — July 22, 2012 — Using recent advances in marine biomechanics, materials science, and tissue engineering, a team of researchers at Harvard University and the California Institute of ...

It was the aquarium that sent Kit Parker down an unexpected path with his heart research. He was there with his daughter watching jellyfish pulsing through the water. The jellyfish, he realized, ...

Check out this cool gadget, the Aquapict LED Jellyfish Aquarium. This cool LED jellyfish aquarium is bound to look great on your desk as the LED jellyfish swim about and change color. They move by a ...

Scientists in the US have created an artificial jellyfish out of silicone and rat heart muscle cells. The creature, dubbed “Medusoid”, swims just like its living analogue by pumping water in and out ...

Scientists have turned inanimate silicone and living cardiac muscle cells into a freely swimming "jellyfish." The finding serves as a proof of concept for reverse engineering a variety of muscular ...

Rats and jellyfish may seem about as different as you can get when it comes to the animal kingdom – but researchers have recently brought them a bit closer. Bioengineers have created an artificial ...

The team members built the replica using silicone as a base on which to grow heart muscle cells that were harvested from rats. They used an electric current to shock the Medusoid into swimming with ...
