Muscles are connected to tendons to power animal movements such as running, swimming or flying. During development, these muscle-tendon attachments must be established such that they resist high ...

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 ...

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 ...

My PhD aimed to gain insights in the relationship between triceps surae muscle force-sharing, Achilles tendon properties, and changes in pain, tendon structure and functioning during rehabilitation in ...

UW-Madison researchers developed a simple, noninvasive wearable device that enables them to measure tendon tension while a person is engaging in activities like walking or running. Here, the device is ...

Our muscles are nature's actuators. The sinewy tissue is what generates the forces that make our bodies move. In recent years, engineers have used real muscle tissue to actuate "biohybrid robots" made ...
