In a new study, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed modified alginate hydrogels that can endure the growth of bacteria, allowing them to synthesize important ...

In this research, the team crafted a medical composite hydrogel based on alginate, offering a potential alternative for vitreous replacement.

One such natural polymer that is used in hydrogels for wound dressing is alginate, a carbohydrate derived from seaweed, and therefore, abundantly available.

The 4D printed hydrogels were able to perform step-wise volume contraction. The soaking strategy adopted was able to not only achieve step-wise volume contraction of the sodium alginate structure, but ...

The Study In this study, researchers synthesized a novel NIR photothermal injectable hydrogel, designated as LA PdNPs/Alg hydrogel, with anti-inflammation and anti-oxidation properties by ...

The team encapsulated Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 biofilms within alginate hydrogels to develop living hydrogels, which can be 3D printed into defined geometries for customized fabrication.

The alginate hydrogel had double the amount of contact with the underlying mock brain compared to the other materials, and was even able to get down into some of the brain’s many deep grooves.

Ordinarily, if you want to build a device that's highly electrically conductive, you have to use rigid metals. Now, however, scientists at Carnegie Mellon University have created a soft and ...

The researchers encapsulated Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 biofilms within alginate hydrogels to develop living hydrogels, which can be 3-D printed into defined geometries for customized fabrication.

Among other things, brain implants are capable of stimulating specific neurons, and of delivering medication to specific regions. An experimental new implant could overcome a common limitation of ...

TOOLBOX: The benefits of ingesting exogenous carbohydrate (CHO) during prolonged exercise performance are well established. A recent food technology innovation has seen sodium alginate and pectin ...
