Full Version: The begginings of bone lacing?
Check it The part that intrigued me was using the nanotubes to replace the collagen in the bones.

Hey, you spelled beginnings wrong.
Doesn't really seem anything like Bone Lacing to me, as its geared towards regrowing bone.

I clearly said DON'T bother 
Anyhoo, I feel this research applies to bone lacing because of the potential for replacing bone collagen with nanotubes for uber strong bones.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't any bother for Voorhees.
Did anyone hear about the German clinic using a titanium mesh to prevent women's chests sagging? Now there's a technology men love.

But what kind of protection does that provide? I know that silicon implants can provide some protection against knife wounds and other penetrating trauma. How does the titanium mesh compare and would it be better to use kevlar for balistic protection?
I suspect the idea behind suggesting a beginning was not that the current technology was so intended, but that extrapolations of such technology could potentially be used to infuse or replace bone with an eye toward specific defensive value.
That's what I was going for, yeah.

Gotta love it!
The next new thing "Boobs of Steel"!
Kind of like that Prescott picture in M&M
It wasn't about the protection per se, just the idea of using titanium mesh for personal csometic gain, and the fact they can do it. Imagine doing that to wrap bones, et voila! Bone lacing.
I'd still prefer the much more flexible, more indestructible nanotube collagen replacement over titanium wrap. Although, titanium wrap is more Wolverine-ish.
