Until now, artificial gels have either managed to replicate high stiffness or natural skin's self-healing properties, but not both. Now, a team of researchers has developed a hydrogel with a unique ...

Hydrogels, soft and water-rich materials, have long fascinated researchers because of their potential in medical and ...

(Nanowerk News) Imagine a world inside your body where tiny cells are like workers building and repairing tissue structures. They interact with their surroundings, which include a scaffold called the ...

Researchers from Aalto University and the University of Bayreuth have developed a hydrogel that combines high stiffness with self-healing properties, overcoming previous limitations. This development ...

“Our lab uses different polymers to interact with the nervous system. We think there's a window after injury that seems to mirror development,” said Paul George, a physician scientist at Stanford ...

When you think about materials used in medicine, you likely picture metals, plastics, or synthetic gels. Researchers at the ...

Researchers are one step closer to bioprinting organs and tissues using a novel granular hydrogel bioink. Every 9 minutes a person is added to the organ transplant waiting list in the United States, ...

Researchers from Aalto University and the University of Bayreuth have developed self-healing gel technology similar to human skin. This is the first time that a hydrogel has been produced that ...
