The trial showed that the hydrogel can be safely injected via catheter into patients who had suffered a heart attack in the past two to 36 months

The Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) research team developed a transfer-printing technology that uses hydrogel and nano ink to easily create high-performance sensors on flexible substrates of diverse shapes and structures

Researchers have made a hydrogel that, when injected near tumors in mice, recruits drugs to shrink the tumor with fewer side effects

The hydrogel works locally by deactivating the harmful MMP enzymes only in the cornea 

The membrane material’s properties could guide the design of flexible body armor

Scientists have developed microscopic, hydrogel-based muscles that can manipulate and mechanically stimulate biological tissue

Soft, squishy device could potentially track ulcers, cancers, and other GI conditions over the long term

The 3-D printing method used to make the materials is known as stereolithography

Wound healing can be complex and challenging, especially when a patient has other health obstacles

3D printing becomes 4D as objects morph over time and temperatures change
