Several coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines require multiple doses for long-lasting immunity. However, a new study published in the journal Biomacromolecules has developed a promising ...

Efficient biological signal transmission can be achieved with the use of implantable bioelectrodes. Metal-based bioelectrodes are associated with tissue inflammation, inefficient signal transduction, ...

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Myocardial infarction (MI) triggers adverse remodeling mechanisms, thus leading to heart failure. Since ...

Like fixing a flat on the roadside, a new injectable hydrogel is showing promise as a remedy for worn-down spinal discs -- pumping them back up and relieving chronic back pain. The gel, with the brand ...

A new computational framework can predict the structures, properties, and performance of granular hydrogels. The new model could one day make it easier to design the right gel for a particular ...

Jervaughn Hunter earned his Ph.D. in the Shu Chien-Gene Lay Department of Bioengineering at UC San Diego and is the study's first author. An injectable hydrogel can mitigate damage to the right ...

Researchers have made significant strides in biomaterial technology and rehabilitation medicine. They've developed a novel approach to healing muscle injury by employing 'injectable tissue prosthesis' ...
