Hydrogels are among the most widely studied biomaterials in modern drug delivery research. Their high hydrophilicity, ...

3D printed hydrogel microcilia exhibit rapid motion and durability, establishing a foundation for advanced microscale fluid ...

The ideal material for interfacing electronics with living tissue is soft, stretchable, and just as water-loving as the tissue itself--in short, a hydrogel. Semiconductors, the key materials for ...

Hydrogels have demonstrated promise for effectively treating skin wounds. However, currently available hydrogels adhere to the skin and swell when absorbing fluid discharge, causing the wound site to ...

Taking medications on time, in the right dose and for the prescribed duration can be challenging for patients, and failure to do so comes with steep costs, causing 10% of hospitalizations and billions ...

Schematic illustration of the GMHD/TFe@Aca hydrogel system: (1) Near-infrared (NIR) light triggers controlled release of acacetin from tannic acid-iron nanoparticles; (2) Acacetin inhibits STING ...
