A new regenerative scaffold made of biosafe collagen hydrogel and collagensponge could possess the ability of retaining fibroblastic growth factor-2 (FGF2) and stimulate the periodontal tissue ...

Researchers have developed a hydrogel that heals and strengthens itself as it is overloaded and damaged. The proof-of-concept demonstration could lead to improved performance for situations where soft ...

In this study, we present a method for assembling biofunctionalized paper into a multiform structured scaffold system for reliable tissue regeneration using an ...

The most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis, affects almost 21 million people in the US. Those with osteoarthritis suffer breakdown of the cartilage tissue that cushions the bones of joints. As ...

Hyaluronic hydrogels that can provide scaffolding for growth of bone cells have been developed by Carnegie Mellon University researchers. The researcher trio behind this creation - Newell Washburn, ...

Healing chronic skin wounds can be difficult, particularly when they span large areas, or when healing is complicated by health problems such as a lack of mobility. A team of researchers from the ...

Brain-computer interface companies like Neuralink are in the news a lot these days for their potential to revolutionize how humans interact with machines, but electrodes are not the most ...

Experimental results show that the new self-healing double-network hydrogel (right) can withstand much greater tensile forces without breaking than traditional methods (left). Researchers at Hokkaido ...
