When a bone break is too severe to heal on its own, surgeons often rely on grafts or rigid metal implants — but both come ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich say they've developed a novel hydrogel that could be used for bone implants in the future.

Scientists have engineered a lab-on-a-chip system capable of applying precisely controlled mechanical forces to biological materials that mimic the extracellular matrix.

Bones broken in a skiing accident usually heal on their own. But if the break is too severe or a bone tumor needs to be removed, surgeons insert an implant that enables the bone to grow back together.

Researchers developed a laser-activated hydrogel that mimics bone healing. Composed mostly of water, the biomimetic material ...

A multidisciplinary team have built hydrogels built entirely from synthetic peptides so their properties can be precisely ...

Following the successful late-stage study in wet age-related macular degeneration, Ocular plans to meet with the FDA to determine a regulatory path for Axpaxli.

The tissue grafts have the potential to help thousands of Americans on transplant waitlists—amid a shortage of donor livers.

At first glance, it looks like a plain, slightly glossy sheet. Then it goes through a quick bath, the temperature shifts, and a famous face comes back from nowhere.

Inspired by a pond microorganism that retracts its spiral stalk using geometry alone, soft gel helices now wind and unwind on their own to amplify motion.

Back in 2019, I wrote an article titled “The World’s Hottest Sports Drink Faces the Evidence.” The Swedish company Maurten’s hydrogel-carbohydrate drink had swept through the endurance sports world ...
