Developing high-performance wearable flexible sensors that can adapt well to complex environments has become a hotspot. Herein, a polyvinyl alcohol based composite hydrogel sensor with high mechanical strength, desirable frost/swelling resistance, an...
Neuronal control of skeletal muscle function is ubiquitous across species for locomotion and doing work. In particular, emergent behaviors of neurons in biohybrid neuromuscular systems can advance bioinspired locomotion research. Although recent stud...
Bone infections, particularly those caused by Staphylococcus aureus, pose clinical challenges due to biofilm formation and association with bone loss. To address this, we developed a three-dimensional (3D) printed hydrogel-based drug delivery device ...
Managing inflammation in diabetic chronic wounds remains a major clinical challenge, primarily due to the lack of real-time monitoring techniques. To address this issue, we developed a peptide hydrogel capable of simultaneously monitoring the inflamm...
Biosimilar artificial mucus models that mimic native mucus facilitate efficient, lab-based drug diffusion studies, addressing the costly and challenging preclinical phase of drug development, especially for nano- and micro-scale particle-based coloni...
Conductive hydrogels based on hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) show great potential in flexible sensors due to their low price and good biocompatibility. Nevertheless, the design of such conductive hydrogels with superior flexible deformability,...
Fibrillar protein hydrogels are promising sustainable biomaterials for biomedical applications, but their practical use is often limited by insufficient mechanical strength and stability. To address these challenges, we transformed native proteins in...
Theranostic hydrogels represent a groundbreaking approach by integrating therapeutic and diagnostic capabilities within a single platform, enabling real-time monitoring of wounds and precise treatment applications. These advanced materials are engine...
