Researchers design a clear cellular scaffold called a hydrogel that can be used to detect and transmit light to cells in vivo. Unwilling to accept the finality of terminal differentiation, Helen Blau ...

Hydrogels sound like a fancy term ... The key to their work is incorporating sacrificial segments of internal scaffolding that are quick to break but enable the swift creation of new structural ...

What are hydrogels, and what are they used for? These water-absorbing polymer networks have applications in drug delivery, ...

A 3D-printed penis implant has restored erectile function to rabbits and pigs in a world first. Pigs with damage to their ...

This requires creating an environment that closely mirrors the conditions in the body’s extracellular matrix (ECM), the molecular scaffold that supports cells. Bioengineers have sought to design ...
