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 ...

MIT engineers develop artificial hydrogel tendons to enhance strength, speed, and durability in biohybrid robotic system ...

One of them is the 3-3-3 method, popularised by coach Gary Walker. ‘The truth is, you don’t need more weight to build muscle ...

Your pectoralis major is a large and powerful chest muscle that’s shaped like a fan. It starts from two sections: your breastbone (sternum) and your collarbone (clavicle). The two sections come ...

New research describes the development of a novel screening platform with automated production of 3D muscle- and tendon-like tissues using 3D bioprinting. There is a strong need for medication that ...

The tendon width of the lateral rectus muscle is known to be a useful indicator for estimation of the effect of lateral rectus recession in intermittent exotropia. This study was conducted to ...

There's plenty of debate about whether stretching before and/or after running is useful. But we spend less time thinking about what stretching actually does – what's changing on a muscular, ...

The lower leg lies between the knee and ankle and works with the upper leg and foot to help perform key functions. In the leg are a number of bones, muscles, tendons, nerves and blood vessels. These ...

Much like their name implies, the quadricep muscles were once thought to be a set of four muscles, with the name “quad” translating to “four or fourth” in Latin. However, it has since been discovered ...

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 ...
