Bone-like hydrogel boosts robotics and sensor performance

Hydrogels have long been valued for their elasticity, but their relatively low mechanical strength has limited applications ...
Researchers at McGill University, in collaboration with Polytechnique Montréal, pioneered a new way to create hydrogels using ultrasound, eliminating the need for toxic chemical initiators. This ...
Gelatin interacts with cells through the presence of arginine-glutamine-aspartic acid (R-G-D) sequences in its protein backbone, and it is also enzymatically degradable. 1 Gelatin is a cost-effective ...
Dnano Seeks to Replace Cell-Based Manufacturing with a Cell-Free Method Therapeutic proteins such as insulin or monoclonal antibodies are manufactured in bacteria, yeast, or mammalian cells. Many ...
The ideal material for interfacing electronics with living tissue is soft, stretchable, and just as water-loving as the tissue itself--in short, a hydrogel. Semiconductors, the key materials for ...
