Another field opens for plastic surgeons - just let them graft muscles on to give you that buff 6 pack. Of course you are still going to have to exercise them, so its no shortcut :). Its beyond tech, its like sci-fi this.
Looks like it's still early days based on the info, but imagine the applications in a future where this kind of medical tech is perfected? Already scientists will be able to grow muscles from biopsy samples and test how drugs will react to the muscles... Custom-made drugs!

I'm not sure I'm happy with this. Good for repairs, but cosmetically? Hmmm.
May you live in interesting times
Awesome!!!!
I wonder if this method can help people with muscular dystrophy.
