Researchers from the Institute of Polymer Science and Engineering, National Taiwan University, have developed a smart gel that responds to multiple stimuli for precise drug release. Gels that respond ...

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

Hydrogels are polymeric materials with three-dimensional network structures containing large amounts of water. They serve as sustained-release drug delivery systems as they can encapsulate various ...

Derived from silica photonic crystals, inverse opal microspheres have a regularly connected porous structure and inherit structural color properties. Combined with the stable scaffold and the ...

A research team has unveiled a new type of hydrogel that leverages the natural properties of lignin to create a multifunctional material suitable for biomedical applications, particularly in wound ...

Taking medications on time, in the right dose and for the prescribed duration can be challenging for patients, and failure to do so comes with steep costs, causing 10% of hospitalizations and billions ...

DNA hydrogels are biocompatible drug delivery systems for targeted therapeutic interventions. Conventional DNA hydrogels, formed with many DNA nanostructure units, lead to increased preparation costs ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Self-assembly, the spontaneous organization of molecules into ordered structures, has long captivated scientists with its elegance and potential. By harnessing the same principles ...
