Researchers have developed modified alginate hydrogels that can endure the growth of bacteria, allowing them to synthesize important enzymes. Encapsulating cells -- both prokaryotic and eukaryotic -- ...

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) – Just days after graduating with his PhD, Austin Williams showed just what helped him earn his doctoral degree. The accomplishment could end up helping millions of people. Inside ...

Hydrogel injection molding is a viable alternative to three-dimensional bioprinting, offering efficiency, scalability and reproducibility for even complex 3D cell-laden geometries and high-throughput ...

AG, AGC, and AGHA hydrogels were synthesized and mechanically characterized. Next, human SG cells (cultured in the 2D platform) were harvested with trypsin, counted, and mixed separately within ...

A newly engineered hydrogel shows early promise for treating vocal cord injuries by persisting longer than existing injectable materials.

Biopolymers are polysaccharides that come from natural sources and are not the same as manufactured biodegradable materials. Some biopolymers have been discovered to have ionic and electronic ...
