A cube of healthy bone is anything but solid. Inside it, countless tiny channels carry fluid and help cells move, feed, and ...
Scientists have engineered a lab-on-a-chip system capable of applying precisely controlled mechanical forces to biological materials that mimic the extracellular matrix.
Inspired by how bones heal naturally, researchers have engineered a laser-structured hydrogel that could one day replace ...

What is a Hydrogel and What is it Used For?
Advances in materials science are transforming medicine, engineering, and environmental technology. Among the most promising innovations are hydrogels—highly absorbent polymer networks with ...
When a bone break is too severe to heal on its own, surgeons often rely on grafts or rigid metal implants — but both come ...
Researchers developed a laser-activated hydrogel that mimics bone healing. Composed mostly of water, the biomimetic material ...
Researchers at ETH Zurich aim to use a jelly-like to produce implants for rock-hard bones. How do they plan to accomplish this? A promising ...
Bones broken in a skiing accident usually heal on their own. But if the break is too severe or a bone tumor needs to be removed, surgeons insert an implant that enables the bone to grow back together.
A self-healing hydrogel improves zinc battery stability, limits corrosion and dendrites, and supports flexible cells that recover performance after cuts, advancing safer water-based energy storage.
