New hydrogel-based materials that can change shape in response to psychological stimuli, such as water, could be the next generation of materials used to bioengineer tissues and organs, according to a team of researchers
Hydrogel dressings, which have advanced in recent years, are good at promoting wound healing and can better meet the demands of different situations. Many are antibacterial, biodegradable, responsive, and injectable and can fill irregularly shaped wounds
A metal organic framework coated with a cancer cell membrane has proved effective at delivering and releasing a cancer immunotherapy drug
Self-repairing gelatin-based film that can repair itself multiple times
Porous iron has great potential as a scaffold for bone repair
Researchers have succeeded in ‘fine tuning’ a new thermoplastic biomaterial to enable both the rate at which it degrades in the body and its mechanical properties to be controlled independently
Implantable silicon-based electronics could monitor nitric oxide species directly at the source, and then biodegrade
Scientists have developed a method to bioprint a type of cartilage that could someday help restore knee function damaged by arthritis or injury
Researchers have developed electronic blood vessels that are flexible and biodegradable by simply rolling up metal-polymer conductor membranes
