A research group led by Nagoya University's Graduate School of Engineering has uncovered how rapid tendon regeneration occurs in newts. The research, published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research, ...

The extensor apparatus of the human hand comprises a network of tendons that arise from forearm musculature and traverse the dorsal wrist to insert on the digits and thumb. While the extensor ...

Have you ever wondered why robots are unable to walk and move their bodies as fluidly as we do? Some robots can run, jump, or dance with greater efficiency than humans, but their body movements also ...

Researchers have revealed how amphibians and mammals heal musculoskeletal tissues. Using mechanical testing and microscopy, they found that newts heal their tendons using collagenous tissue that acts ...

A newt had regenerated a new tendon (blue) using the same collagen material with normal tendon following complete transection, bridging remaining tendon stubs. Tendon cell nuclei are shown in red. [A ...
