Several coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines require multiple doses for long-lasting immunity. However, a new study published in the journal Biomacromolecules has developed a promising ...

Efficient biological signal transmission can be achieved with the use of implantable bioelectrodes. Metal-based bioelectrodes are associated with tissue inflammation, inefficient signal transduction, ...

Hydrogel injection molding is a viable alternative to three-dimensional bioprinting, offering efficiency, scalability and reproducibility for even complex 3D cell-laden geometries and high-throughput ...

A new computational framework can predict the structures, properties, and performance of granular hydrogels. The new model could one day make it easier to design the right gel for a particular ...

Researchers have made significant strides in biomaterial technology and rehabilitation medicine. They've developed a novel approach to healing muscle injury by employing 'injectable tissue prosthesis' ...

The dental pulp is susceptible to microbial infection, which often results in inflammation, necrosis, and defects in the pulp ...

Like fixing a flat on the roadside, a new injectable hydrogel is showing promise as a remedy for worn-down spinal discs -- pumping them back up and relieving chronic back pain. The gel, with the brand ...

Such implantable devices can monitor biological activities such as heart rate and are typically made of metals, silicon, plastic and glass. Now, Alexandra Rutz, an assistant professor of biomedical ...

A newly engineered hydrogel shows early promise for treating vocal cord injuries by persisting longer than existing injectable materials.
