A research team led by Professor Jaehong Lee of the Department of Robotics and Mechanical Electronics (DGIST) has developed a new human implantable, wireless, health monitoring electronic suture ...

Researchers have developed a python-tooth-inspired device as a supplement to current rotator cuff suture repair, and found that it nearly doubled repair strength. Their biomimetic approach following ...

Harnessing nanoparticles to deliver drugs precisely to a surgically repaired tendon is a promising new approach that reduced scar tissue formation and improved mechanical function. Researchers' ...

A recent review published in the Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts examines the state of cellulose-based sutures, focusing on materials, fabrication methods, and application performance. The ...

Tendon injuries, though very common, frequently heal with scar tissue, which is less flexible and more prone to future injury.

Whether it’s a season-ending Achilles rupture by pro footballer Aaron Rodgers or an everyday workplace accident, tendon injuries are common and can be life-changing. They require 300,000 surgeries per ...
