Good sport: A process control technique to develop synthetic tendons will aid the treatment of sports injuries

摘要

ATHLETES with Achilles heel injuries could be treated in the future with bioresorbable synthetic tendons. The technology is the planned result of research being conducted by Manchester University and regenerative medicine company Neotherix. The group hopes to develop process control techniques for the electrospinning of bioresorbable polymers that can be used to make synthetic tendons.
