Hm, they claim that it has "functioning" muscle tissue. But in the video the limb doesn't move, so I wonder in what sense the muscle tissue can be said to be "functioning."


From the article: "Functional testing of the isolated limbs showed that electrical stimulation of muscle fibers caused them to contract with a strength 80 percent of what would be seen in newborn animals. "


Ah. Thanks.
