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

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. Meanwhile, semiconductors—the key materials ...

(Nanowerk News) One double-helix strand of DNA could extend six feet, but it is so tightly coiled that it packs an entire sequence of nucleotides into the tiny nucleus of a cell. If that same DNA was ...

Researchers have developed a new method to improve the structural and functional stability and long-term storage of hydrogel microparticles during lyophilization. By using polyethylene glycol (PEG) ...

Gel diffusion apparatus used by Edward Joseph Schantz, a biochemist who worked with neurotoxins at the Department of Defense laboratory at Fort Detrick, Md., and then at the Food Research Institute at ...
