Project Directors: Kyle Harrington, Nathan Schiele Project Team: Leo Epstein, Sophia Theodossiou, Aniruddha Belsare Tendons are collagen-rich musculoskeletal tissues that transfer mechanical forces from muscle to bone to allow for normal human movements, such as locomotion. Unfortunately, tendon injuries are frequent, treatment options are limited, and the mechanical function of tendon rarely returns to pre-injury…
