A review paper by scientists at the University of Oxford discussed possible benefits of using humanoid musculoskeletal robots and soft robotic systems as bioreactor platforms in producing clinically ...

Reconstructing knees with kangaroo tissue is one step, or hop, closer to being a reality, with human trials set to get under way in 2024. “I’ve always said that kangaroos are nature’s greatest ...

Biohybrid robots that run on real muscle are shifting from science fiction toward workable machines. In labs around the world ...

Hannah Larson, a PhD student in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering, is a 2023 recipient of the National Institutes of Health T32 for Interdisciplinary Training in Musculoskeletal ...

Tendon injuries, especially those acquired while engaging in sports, are not easily healed due to the fibrous nature of tendon tissues which transmit forces from muscle to bone and protect surrounding ...

Injure a tendon and you might not notice right away, but beware: These injuries often fail to heal properly, putting everyday ...

A newt had regenerated a new tendon (blue) using the same collagen material with normal tendon following complete transection, bridging remaining tendon stubs. Tendon cell nuclei are shown in red. [A ...
