For decades, lab-grown cells have been studied in materials that don't reflect the softness and flexibility of human tissue.
Researchers developed a light-responsive hydrogel that mimics tissue flexibility and structure. The material enables precise ...
A new light-controlled hydrogel developed at CU Boulder mimics the movement and flexibility of real tissue, giving scientists ...
For decades, lab-grown cells have been studied in materials that don’t reflect the softness and flexibility of human tissue.
Hydrogel micromachines recreate the push and pull of living cells, helping scientists study how mechanical forces shape tissues in the lab.
July 10, 2025 - A research team led by Professor Yiwei Li and Professor Bi-Feng Liu from the College of Life Science and Technology at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) published an ...
The mechanical properties of tissue matrix are crucial for maintaining cell health and function. With aging, tissue matrix loses its mechanical integrity and exhibits altered biophysical properties, ...
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 ...
A multidisciplinary team have built hydrogels built entirely from synthetic peptides so their properties can be precisely tailored through chemical design. By harnessing the power of collagen-inspired ...
Tiny droplets are powering big ideas in science. Researchers have developed a miniature, soft, and flexible lithium-ion battery made from biocompatible hydrogel. This new battery, smaller than a grain ...
