When you think about materials used in medicine, you likely picture metals, plastics, or synthetic gels. Researchers at the ...

Damaged brain tissue can be re-grown using a new method that lets researchers guide stem cells into exactly the type of brain cells they need for a particular spot. They're targeting new treatments ...

A team of researchers from Japan have developed a hydrogel that successfully reverted cancer cells back to cancer stem cells. The Japanese scientists announced the development of the hydrogel, called ...

The chronic skin ulcers that diabetics often develop on their feet are notoriously slow to heal, sometimes to the point that they become seriously infected and require foot amputation. A new magnetic ...

Diabetic wounds often become chronically infected and are notoriously difficult to treat. Two primary reasons for this include the formation of a bacterial biofilm and high levels of oxidative stress.

Researchers from DTU have developed a new biopolymer for muscle tissue regeneration. They have harnessed the native bioproduction facilities in bacteria to synthesize a durable, resilient, and elastic ...

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