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 ...

A better way to repair torn rotator cuffs could be found by looking into a python's mouth, researchers said. While these animals are known for squeezing their prey to death, they also rely on ...

The powerful grip of a python’s bite is helping researchers heal a common shoulder injury that afflicts millions of Americans. Medical researchers at Columbia University Irving Medical Center designed ...

Let's start with that skull: The bones are connected by elastic ligaments, which have a lot of stretch. And teeth? A snake's teeth are angled toward the throat and act as hooks to prevent live prey ...

A leading researcher focused on the development and regeneration of the tendon-to-bone attachment, Thomopoulos is particularly interested in advancing tendon-to-bone repair, necessary for rotator cuff ...
