A new hybrid hydrogel that safely delivers stem cells to brain injury sites in mice has been developed. This solves a major challenge -- keeping stem cells alive for long enough to evolve into the ...

HIV therapies have come a long way since the 1980s, when the first antiretroviral therapy, AZT, was approved by the FDA. Patients have gone from having to take multiple pills a day to two or even ...

Cancers that grow on the surfaces of organs and the linings of body cavities are notoriously difficult to treat. A new therapeutic hydrogel that can be injected or sprayed onto large surfaces could be ...

Scientists have designed a gel that, when injected into a human or animal cell, can conduct electricity like an implant. But unlike traditional electrical implants, their gel doesn’t require invasive ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins University have developed a treatment that could provide new hope for aggressive brain cancers. Injecting a drug-laden hydrogel into the brain after tumors have been ...

In Raffaele Mezzenga’s lab at the Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich, mice consume a lot of alcohol. Their drunkenness serves a higher purpose: each creature helps test out a new hydrogel ...

A new ‘hybrid’ hydrogel, which allows clinicians to safely deliver stem cells to the site of a brain injury in mice, has been developed by researchers from the University of Melbourne and the ...
