For several biomedical applications, chitin hydrogel is known to be a promising material. It is beneficial for tissue repair, artificial organs, and wound healing due to its biocompatibility and ...

McGill University researchers have engineered a new hydrogel that shows early promise as a treatment for people with vocal cord injuries. Voice loss is often permanent when scarring forms on the vocal ...

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

Hydrogels are materials that have properties similar to biological tissue, making them ideal for use in medical devices. They are water-swollen and cross-linked polymeric networks that can retain a ...

Antibody treatments for cancer and other diseases are typically delivered intravenously, because of the large volumes that are needed per dose. This means the patient has to go to a hospital for every ...

Aneurysms, abnormal enlargement or ballooning in the wall of blood vessels can result in rupture and fatal bleeding. To treat aneurysms, it is essential to stop the blood flow to the affected area and ...

A research team has unveiled a new type of hydrogel that leverages the natural properties of lignin to create a multifunctional material suitable for biomedical applications, particularly in wound ...

A gelatinous substance that would otherwise be waste from a nut often used to make herbal tea can be made into a hydrogel with all different biomedical uses, University of Chicago researchers recently ...
