The skin is the largest organ in the human body. It makes up about 15% of our body weight and protects us from pathogens, ...

Growing cells in the laboratory is an art that humans have mastered decades ago. Recreating entire three-dimensional tissues is much more challenging. Researchers are developing a new hydrogel-based ...

D-printed hydrogel is soft, and sometimes it can be tough. However, could it be hard? Here, researchers from Zhejiang ...

In this work, an injectable, tissue-adhesive and low- swelling hydrogel sealant was developed based on o-phthalaldehyde (OPA)/amine chemistry for dural sealing and repairing. The hydrogel was ...

Empa researchers have developed a printable, non-swelling hydrogel made from cold-water fish gelatin, enabling the creation of 3D living skin mod ...

First, they submerged the samples in a hydrogel solution containing small compounds that behave as liquid until they link up into polymer chains that absorb water and congeal into a gel. These ...

The basis: gelatin from the skin of cold-water fish. The research has been published in Materials Today Bio ("Mechanically robust non-swelling cold water fish gelatin hydrogels for 3D bioprinting").
