Researchers seek a more effective way to culture human embryonic stem cells.
Rebuilding Skin using Hydrogels
Researchers are looking at hydrogel scaffolding with drug-delivery properties to improve skin tissue engineering.
Stem Cell-Macrophage Interactions with Ferumoxytol and Ferumoxytol-derived Nanoparticles
“Off the shelf” allogeneic stem cell transplants and stem cell nano‐composites are being used for the treatment of degenerative bone diseases. However, major and minor histocompatibility antigens of therapeutic cell transplants can be recognized as foreign and lead to their rejection by the host immune system.
Ultrastretchable Electrodes for Comfortable Wearable Electronics [Video]
Printable and ultrastretchable conductors are fabricated by transferring printed silver ink onto hybrid hydrogel–elastomer substrates.
Recent Advances of Light-Based Single-Molecule Approaches for Studying Biomolecules
Recent advances in single‐molecule techniques have led to new discoveries in analytical chemistry, biophysics, and medicine. Understanding the structure and behavior of single biomolecules provides a wealth of information compared to studying large ensembles.
