(Nanowerk News) One of the primary goals in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is the development of artificial scaffolds that can serve as substitutes for damaged tissue. These ...
Hydrogels are among the most widely studied biomaterials in modern drug delivery research. Their high hydrophilicity, ...
To take advantage of the promise of 4D materials for bioengineering applications, Alsberg and colleagues developed novel 4D materials based on gelatin-like hydrogels that change shape over time in ...
Hydrogels are often used as scaffolds in tissue engineering. Living cells infused into the material can, theoretically, grow through the gel until an entire piece of tissue forms. But to grow well, ...
Every day in the United States, 17 people die waiting for an organ transplant, and every nine minutes, another person is added to the transplant waiting list, according to the Health Resources and ...
Cilia are micrometer-sized biological structures that occur frequently in nature. Their characteristic high-frequency, ...
Researchers in the lab of UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering Asst. Prof. Sihong Wang have developed a hydrogel that retains the semiconductive ability needed to transmit information ...
A wireless “smart” bandage that combines advanced electronics with an engineered hydrogel shows promise in accelerating tissue repair by simultaneously monitoring the healing process and treating the ...

3D-printed cardiac patch encourages tissue repair using structural mesh and hydrogel with living cells
A new type of tissue-engineered cardiac patch could not only seal defective areas of the heart, as has been the case up to now, but also heal them. An interdisciplinary team led by ETH Zurich has ...
It is relatively easy to grow cells in the lab but turning them into realistic models of human tissue is harder. This requires creating an environment that closely mirrors the conditions in the body’s ...
Researchers have developed a hydrogel composed of poly(N-acryloylglycinamide) (PNAGAm) grafted with arginine (R)–glycine (G)–aspartic acid (D)–serine (S) peptide whose elastic modulus can be changed ...
