A new tissue regeneration strategy that employs direct cell reprogramming in combination with a new hybrid scaffold shows promise in proof-of-concept study.
Spray-on solution for common post-operative complications
Sprayed on and held in place like Velcro, researchers develop a dynamic hydrogel barrier system to improve the outcome of invasive surgery and reduce the need for additional operations.
Sheets of carbon nanotubes come in a rainbow of colors
A new model helped researchers create a “nanotube color atlas”, which they use to predict the specific colors of 466 different single‐wall carbon nanotubes, revealing a broad spectrum of potentially achievable colors.
Preclinical studies demonstrate new ways to stop bleeding
A new blood-derived embolic material with regenerative properties stops bleeding instantly, even in cases of impaired coagulation.
