A device inspired by the unique teeth of a python may enhance rotator cuff surgery outcomes by improving repair strength and reducing the risk of a retear, according to a study recently published in ...

Now, a group led by Stavros Thomopoulos, PhD, of Columbia University in New York City, has developed 3D printed devices modeled after python teeth to strengthen tendon-bone attachment beyond that ...

Our biomimetic approach following the design of python teeth helps to reattach tendons to bone more securely. The device not only augments the strength of the repair but can also be customized to ...

Columbia University 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 ...

Scientists have discovered a new type of cell that helps Burmese pythons digest the entire skeletons of their prey.

The python's head was as big as a garden spade, lunging at hunter once, twice, before sinking its recurved teeth into his arm.

Python teeth in petri dishes at the lab. These invasive snakes have been shown to consume more than 70 different animal species in Florida, including more than 20 types of mammals and nearly 50 ...
