This technique enables the production of 3-D macroscopic hydrogel fibers, which otherwise would not possible with existing fiber spinning technologies. These hydrogel fibers were further used to ...

The functional hydrogel was not only a goal in and of itself, but also a means to identify the factors that influence the stem cells' ability to expand and form organoids.

The new material, which is a type of high-performance conducting polymer hydrogel, may one day replace metals as functional, gel-based electrodes, with the look and feel of biological tissue.

Their findings, reported in Advanced Functional Materials ("Kirigami-Inspired 3D-Printable MXene Organohydrogels for Soft Electronics"), could open doors for hydrogel sensors in diverse applications ...

Functional hydrogel-based wound dressings offer a simple yet effective approach to wound treatment. Multifunctional hydrogels, equipped with self-healing capabilities, robust injectability, and ...
