"3D printing allows us to combine multiple materials and cell types into a single structure—just like real skin." However, due to their ability to absorb water, most hydrogels swell considerably when ...

D-printed hydrogel is soft, and sometimes it can be tough. However, could it be hard? Here, researchers from Zhejiang University report a 3D photo-printable hard/soft switchable hydrogel composite, ...

Such imitations can be produced using 3D printing and consist of hydrogel formulations that are printed together with living cells. The work is published in the journal STAR Protocols. Hydrogels ...

Researchers at Southeast University in China, led by Professor Zhou Yang, have developed a revolutionary cement-based ...

Such imitations can be produced using 3D printing and consist of hydrogel formulations that are printed together with living cells. Hydrogels in which skin cells survive and grow "The hydrogels ...

In today's world, more people suffer from bone problems caused by injuries, infections, or birth defects. As the population ...
