A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a scissor gesture has been built by a team at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan .

The hand is made of a 3D-printed plastic base, with tendons of human muscle tissue which move the fingers.

The researchers used thin strings of muscle tissue bundled into sushi-like rolls to give the fingers enough strength to contract.
