Recreating entire three-dimensional tissues is much more challenging. Researchers are developing a new hydrogel-based material that makes it possible to engineer artificial skin tissues ...

Researchers have developed novel lymph-node-inspired hydrogels that significantly enhance the activation, gene expression, ...

Their findings show that the hydrogel properties, such as melting temperatures and stability, depend on the length of the stem and the cohesive parts. ODNs with stem lengths of 12 nucleotides or ...

A new 3D printed customizable hydrogel performed well in preclinical trials with several different types of meniscal tears. Meniscus tears are common knee injuries that have long frustrated ...

Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology-Guwahati (IIT-G) and the Bose Institute, Kolkata have developed an advanced injectable hydrogel for localised cancer treatment. A statement ...

This is what a group of researchers have been investigating for a few years now, with the most recent paper on the topic called Reversibly Sticking Metals and Graphite to Hydrogels and Tissues by ...

Researchers from the Institute of Polymer Science and Engineering, National Taiwan University, have developed a smart gel that responds to multiple stimuli for precise drug release. Gels that ...

The hydrogel system reportedly enabled a temperature drop of 23 C, from 70 to 47 C, and a relative 12.3% power conversion efficiency (PCE) increase compared to the reference device.
