Researchers develop an injectable hydrogel that treats infections around prosthetics without the problems caused by current treatments. The black phosphorus-enhanced gel has a porous structure, ...

A new gel made from porous nanosheets releases small neutral molecules in hours but holds charged molecules for weeks, ...

This new platform includes a bilayer structure comprising a lower supporting layer and an upper photocatalytic layer. Both layers are made of a porous structural polymer that grants high surface ...

Cilia are micrometer-sized biological structures that occur frequently in nature. Their characteristic high-frequency, ...

Vaginal infections can be divided into bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections based on their causative pathogens. The excellent properties of hydrogels include many key properties such as ...

Advances in materials science are transforming medicine, engineering, and environmental technology. Among the most promising innovations are hydrogels—highly absorbent polymer networks with ...

When you think about materials used in medicine, you likely picture metals, plastics, or synthetic gels. Researchers at the ...

Whether they're caused by injury, disease or other factors, missing sections of bone can be quite difficult to replace. A new injectable hydrogel could change that, however, by transforming into a ...
