Researchers have now identified the molecular mechanism that triggers tendinopathy, paving the way for new and improved ...

Biohybrid robots that run on real muscle are shifting from science fiction toward workable machines. In labs around the world, engineers have built tiny walkers, swimmers and gripping devices powered ...

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. Harnessing ...

The Nanoscale Orthopedic Biomaterials Laboratory I direct has two main thrusts. First, we develop instrumentation, models, and techniques that bridge the gap from the atomic to the microscale. We wish ...

Man-made interfaces often fail where nature succeeds. TU Delft's research in Nature Communications reveals hybrid interfaces, mirroring bone-tendon connections. Man-made soft-hard interfaces often ...
