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

Researchers from the Institute of Polymer Science and Engineering, National Taiwan University, have developed a smart gel that responds to multiple stimuli for precise drug release. Gels that respond ...

In a recent study published in Advanced Materials, researchers developed biocompatible, stimuli-responsive hydrogel implants for reversible fallopian tube occlusion, providing contraception and ...

Millimeter-scale hydrogels form reversible, stimulus-responsive assemblies that encode high-density data, offering a dynamic alternative to static printed codes for adaptive information storage.

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 ...
