Surgical site infections can result in prolonged wound healing, wound dehiscence, abscess formation and, in severe cases, sepsis. These infections represent a significant clinical burden in that ...

The double-network copolymer is designed so that once put in the desired location it soaks up moisture and provides a dry interface for its bioadhesive properties. In addition, the resulting material ...

The lives of most sea creatures remain largely mysterious. Bound to boats or land, researchers rely on sensors to collect data and piece together how marine animals move through their environments.

A new wirelessly-powered light-emitting device, which sticks onto animal tissue like a sticker with tissue-adhesive and elastic nanosheets, could possibly facilitate treatment for hard-to-detect ...

Tagging marine animals with sensors to track their movements and ocean conditions can provide important environmental and behavioral information. Existing techniques to attach sensors currently ...

A wearable ultrasound device attached using a durable, adhesive, stretchy material enables continuous medical imaging of internal organs and tissues for patients on the go, researchers report. They ...

When trauma leads to a bleeding wound that cannot be stopped with compression or adhesives, the risk of death greatly increases. Nearly a third of trauma deaths are due to blood loss that cannot be ...

The double-network copolymer is designed so that once put in the desired location it soaks up moisture and provides a dry interface for its bioadhesive properties. In addition, the resulting material ...

The engineered bioadhesive sealant had superior adhesive strength, stretchiness, toughness, and injectability, along with the ability for rapid gelation when applied to the wound site and showed ...

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) kills cancer cells using a photosensitizing drug that localizes within tumours. When irradiated with a specific wavelength of light, the drug produces reactive oxygen ...
