Surgeons lack modern ligament and tendon reinforcement options and rely on outdated methods. Researchers are pursuing grants and non-dilutive funding to develop new technologies that could also address cartilage defects.

nobody is doing ligament tendon reinforcement structures and these surgeons are having to rely on very old and antiquated things. So that might be something also that to consider. And then you can probably learn a lot, a lot more for the cartilage defect side as well based off of what you're learning from tendon consideration. But that there is a big, huge, massive void in that space.
No, I mean, I appreciate it because we're, you know, we continue to pursue non-dilutive funding and we're always looking for topics, good interesting topics for, you know, other grant applications. So I think there could be opportunities to get R&D funding probably to do it.
