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 ...

A new hydrogel tendon design lets engineered muscle transmit far more force to rigid skeletons, resulting in 11 times higher power-to-weight performance. Study: Biohybrid Tendons Enhance the ...

A team of scientists has constructed a robot leg that, like its natural model, is very energy efficient. BirdBot benefits from a foot-leg coupling through a network of muscles and tendons that extends ...

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 ...

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 ...

Muscle strength is only part of the equation—learn why supporting your tendons and ligaments is essential for long-term health. h_15691691A physical therapy student demonstrates a standing heel ...

Why do some hamstring and quadriceps strains take much longer to repair than others? Which injuries are more prone to recurrence? Intramuscular tendon injuries have received little attention as an ...

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 ...

Tendons link muscles and bones together. The hand is unique because many of the muscles that control the bones in your fingers and wrists are located in your forearm. The tendons and muscles in your ...
