Whatever happens (and with us, I have learned to expect the worst), you have to tip your cap to Bulaga for trying to do whatever he can to PLAY.
I wish the medical geniuses could figure out a way to really accelerate that healing process...... we can artificially do a lot of things now..... make skin grow, stem cells..... I feel someday way down the road, they will be able to get these things to heal in a matter of a couple of months. Wish that could be now.
I hate the ACL.
Spider web silk, the strongest natural fiber known, could possess untapped medical potential in artificial tendons or for regenerating ligaments, scientists now say.
Lewis said researchers at Tufts University in Medford, Mass., have found that spider webs could be used as scaffolds for regenerating ligaments damaged in one of the world's most common knee injuries—ruptured anterior cruciate ligaments, or ACLs. "We're also looking at spider silk in artificial tendons," he said.
