A team develops an innovative injectable hydrogel for bone regeneration, addressing the limitations of traditional bone grafts and adhesion methods. A research team led by Professor Hyung Joon Cha ...
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 ...
Alginate is a biocompatible and biodegradable substance found in seaweed. Now, researchers from Tokyo University of Science have used alginate from seaweed washed ashore, CaCO 3, and carbonated water ...
Adhesion is how the human body maintains its structural integrity. Tendons connect muscle and bone, whereas muscle and skin are connected by connective tissue. These biomimetic mechanical ...
Researchers find that drying hydrogels briefly turns them into strong, reversible adhesives, opening new uses in robotics and material handling. (Nanowerk Spotlight) A surprising shift in how ...
