Bioengineers and dentists from the UCLA School of Dentistry have developed a new hydrogel that is more porous and effective in promoting tissue repair and regeneration compared to hydrogels that are ...

A research team from Northwest University, China, has developed a breakthrough nano-composite hydrogel system to address the dual challenges of inflammation and cartilage damage in osteoarthritis (OA) ...

As Prof. Choi explains, "We engineered meso–macroporous PEGDA hydrogel particles with pores approximately 400 nm in diameter using a technique called cryo-photocrosslinking. In this process, frozen ...

With a new durable composite hydrogel, researchers have 3D printed heart valves that last nearly 100 times as long as valves made with a simple hydrogel (Matter 2021, DOI: 10.1016/j.matt.2021.03.011).

Advances in materials science are transforming medicine, engineering, and environmental technology. Among the most promising innovations are hydrogels—highly absorbent polymer networks with ...

Bioengineers and dentists have developed a new hydrogel that is more porous and effective in promoting tissue repair and regeneration. Once injected in a mouse model, the new hydrogel is shown to ...
