Anisotropic plates with architected tendon network [PDF]
Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 2024,
106505, ISSN 1751-6161,, 2023 We synthesize geometrically tailorable anisotropic plates by combining button shaped fish-scale like features on soft substrates, then lacing them with high-stiffness strings. This creates a new type of biomimetic architectured structure with multiple broken symmetries.

Non-viral Gene Delivery Methods for Bone and Joints
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020 Viral carrier transport efficiency of gene delivery is high, depending on the type of vector. However, viral delivery poses significant safety concerns such as inefficient/unpredictable reprogramming outcomes, genomic integration, as well as unwarranted ...

Interactive-Rate Supervisory Control for Arbitrarily-Routed Multi-Tendon Robots via Motion Planning [PDF]
IEEE Access, vol. 10, pp. 80999-81019, Jul. 2022, 2022 Tendon-driven robots, where one or more tendons under tension bend and manipulate a flexible backbone, can improve minimally invasive surgeries involving difficult-to-reach regions in the human body. Planning motions safely within constrained anatomical environments requires accuracy and efficiency in shape estimation and collision checking.

A high-glucose diet affects Achilles tendon healing in rats
Scientific Reports, 2017 Chronic and acute tendinopathies are difficult to treat and tendon healing is generally a very slow and incomplete process and our general understanding of tendon biology and regeneration lags behind that of muscle or bone.

Tenophages: a novel macrophage-like tendon cell population expressing CX3CL1 and CX3CR1
Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2019 Tendon disorders frequently occur and recent evidence has clearly implicated the presence of immune cells and inflammatory events during early tendinopathy. However, the origin and properties of these cells remain poorly defined.

Leveraging Tendon Vibration to Enhance Pseudo-Haptic Perceptions in VR [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Pseudo-haptic techniques are used to modify haptic perception by appropriately changing visual feedback to body movements. Based on the knowledge that tendon vibration can affect our somatosensory perception, this paper proposes a method for leveraging tendon vibration to enhance pseudo-haptics during free arm motion.
