This is a microscopic view of lab-grown human muscle bundles, colored to show the patterns created by the basic muscle units and their associated proteins (red), which are a hallmark of human muscle. These lab-grown human muscle tissues allow researchers to test new drugs and study diseases in muscle tissue outside the human body.
