Your muscles and bones work together to support your movement. A tendon is what attaches muscle to bone. They link your bones and muscles and allow them to move together during activity. Tendons ...

Researchers at Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU),Scripps Research, and others found that tendons, not muscles, are the crucial site where increased expression of a mechanosensitive ion ...

Researchers have developed artificial tendons for muscle-powered robots. They attached the rubber band-like tendons (blue) to ...

What if living muscle could power machines with the same force and precision as engineered actuators? Engineers at MIT have made an advance toward that dream reality by fabricating artificial tendons ...

MIT engineers have pushed biohybrid robotics into a new era with lab-grown muscles that don’t just twitch robotic parts but amplify them with serious power. In a breakthrough that reimagines how ...

Individual variation in the shape and structure of the Achilles tendon may influence our susceptibility to injury later in life. Individual variation in the shape and structure of the Achilles tendon ...

Female athletes taking birth control pills were five times less likely to develop muscle or tendon injuries. But are the benefits worth the risks? Women are more prone to ligament injuries, such as ...

Researchers created tough hydrogel artificial tendons, attached them to lab-grown muscle to form a muscle-tendon unit, then linked the tendons to a robotic gripper's fingers. (Nanowerk News) Our ...
