Muscle-powered Cantilever for Microtweezers with an Artificial Micro Skeleton and Rat Primary Myotubes

A technique to attach muscle cells to artificial micro mechanical systems was studied using dog body hair and rat primary skeletal muscle. Muscle-powered cantilever for microtweezers were fabricated which consisted of a single strand of hair for the skeleton and differentiated myotubes for the actua...
