Researchers have developed a hydrogel composed of poly(N-acryloylglycinamide) (PNAGAm) grafted with arginine (R)–glycine (G)–aspartic acid (D)–serine (S) peptide whose elastic modulus can be changed ...

Researchers at The University of Texas at Arlington have developed a highly elastic biodegradable hydrogel for bio-printing of materials that mimic natural human soft tissues. Bio-printing uses live ...

Guohao Dai, PhD, a bioengineering professor at Northeastern University, helped create a new elastic hydrogel material for 3D printing of soft living tissues, including blood vessels. The breakthrough ...

Inspired by the hardness-changing behavior of sea cucumbers, a 3D-printed hard/soft switchable hydrogel was successfully developed by infusing a phase transition hydrated salt solution into the ...

Young's modulus is a mechanical property that measures the stiffness of the materials when force or compression is applied. Young's modulus relates to the elasticity of the material, which is ...

Effective treatment and repair of damaged cartilage still present a significant challenge for today’s medicine. Researchers at Duke University in the USA have recently created a novel hydrogel-based ...

(Nanowerk News) One of the primary goals in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is the development of artificial scaffolds that can serve as substitutes for damaged tissue. These ...
