Ok so I had a dream and it was a little crazy but here it is.
I though these scientist had developed a way to grow long linear muscles that were capable of contracting when an electrical stimulus was applied. This was done by applying what amounted to "blended" monkey muscle tissue to a scaffold of organic polymers submerged in a nutrient solution mimicking a living organism. The polymer scaffolding served a secondary purpose witch was to reinforce the unit, so even if it had been stretched past the failure point of he muscle the polymer being stronger than any know muscle tissue of equivalent thickness would not fail.
So I suppose my question is this is it possible and would it be practical to construct muscle in such a manor?
Thanks!:D
