Robotic skeletons designed to look and move like real humans are being investigated for growing tendons strong enough to actually transplant.
If the proof-of-concept can be perfected with further research, tissue grown on humanoid robots could one day be grafted onto a real person, fixing tears in their tendons.Today, surgeons can try their hands at repairing tendons, often transplanting a graft from another tendon in the body, but the outcomes are mixed. For more than two decades, scientists have been looking into alternative strategies, like artificially engineering tendons for transplantation.
Tendons are what connect human muscles to our bones, and this means they must be both strong and flexible. The tendons of the human shoulder are especially busy. This joint has the greatest range of movement in the entire human body, which means tendons are hard at work keeping the ball and socket in place.and tendon is the line of tissues that connects the shoulder blade to the arm's humerus. It's mostly involved in helping the arm flap from a person's side upwards.
The repeated motions of flapping, known as arm abduction and adduction, seemed to give the developing tissue some flexibility and strength, reducing stiffness.
