    MIT researchers have developed a groundbreaking three-layer bionic knee prosthesis—integrating muscle tissue, bone, and a robotic limb—that restores natural push-pull muscle function, reestablishes bone load-bearing with a titanium implant, and enhances mobility and “embodiment,” giving lower-leg amputees unprecedented comfort, agility, and a feeling that the prosthetic is truly part of their body.

  2. "Here we present an injectable tissue #prosthesis with instantaneous bidirectional electrical conduction in the #neuromuscular system. The soft and injectable prosthesis is composed of a biocompatible #hydrogel with unique phenylborate-mediated multiple crosslinking, such as irreversible yet freely rearrangeable biphenyl bonds and reversible coordinate bonds with conductive gold #nanoparticles formed in situ by cross-coupling"

  3. Unearth the #Cairo Toe! 🦶 Dating back to 950-710 BCE, this wooden prosthetic toe from ancient #Egypt, now in the British Museum, reflects remarkable innovation. More than art, it's functional, enhancing mobility. A testament to resilience through the ages.
