Find out how researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed stretchable, self-healing 'jelly batteries' that could ...

Professor Hongbo Zhang from Åbo Akademi University in Finland and colleagues have proposed a self-healing hydrogel dressing ...

A new study explores the integration of biopolymers with polyacrylic acid hydrogels, highlighting their potential ...

Based in fundamental materials science, the group synthesizes cytocompatible and cell-instructive biomaterials, often from biopolymers (e.g., hyaluronic acid) that are crosslinked into water-swollen ...

Built from jelly-like materials, the self-healing batteries were developed ... Similar to the electrocytes in eels’ muscles, the hydrogel material can deliver a current while also being soft ...

The majority of diabetic wound care products are passive dressings, which merely provide a protective barrier against the external environment and do not actively promote wound healing. Here, we will ...

A new injectable hydrogel could change that, however, by transforming into a robust bone regeneration material when exposed to visible light. While bone injuries such as fractures typically heal ...
