Organ structure
Connective tissue
Load-bearing tissue that mechanically links regions of the body
Hypotheses on this target 2
Function restoration
Remodelling
Tissue graft1
Load normalisation1
Tissue graft1
Muscle renewal may cause lasting loss by disconnecting critical force-transmitting routes
Where this hypothesis actsAging human muscle where renewal may disable critical transmission routes before replacement
What is proposedRebuild or prebuild critical force-transmitting connections
With whatPhysical or surgical intervention
HowProposed route-specific replacement or reconnection, including prebuilding connections before removal
Possible resultPossible preservation of transmission and reduction of new injury and persistent force loss across renewal cycles

Load normalisation1
Damaged connective-tissue paths may spread failure between otherwise capable muscle regions
Where this hypothesis actsDamaged paths linking force-producing regions in aging humans with postinfectious exertional intolerance
What is proposedModify mechanical coupling to reduce path-transmitted failure while retaining useful force
With whatNot stated in the record
HowA proposed coupling modification, first validated in an architecture-preserving preparation; no safe or selective manipulation is specified
Possible resultPossible reduction in recurrent regional injury and functional loss while retaining useful task force and independence
