A team of Stanford researchers has developed a precisely controlled hydrogel drug delivery system that prevents scarring and promotes wound healing in large, full thickness wounds.
Stanford researchers have designed a hydrogel system which allows for the easy encapsulation of cells and biomolecules without requiring external changes in environmental conditions or exposure to chemical crosslinkers.
Researchers in Prof. Hemamala Karunadasa's laboratory have developed inexpensive, robust, high capacity hybrid materials for reversible or irreversible capture of halogens (chlorine, bromine, and iodine gas).
Researchers at Stanford have developed methods for preparing photo-, and chemical-, cross-linkable three-dimensional matrices for the controlled delivery of bioactive molecules for therapeutic applications.
Hydrogel-based tissue engineering scaffolds are widely used for culturing cells in three dimensions (3D) due to their tissue-like water content, tunable biochemical and physical properties, and ease of cell encapsulation and distribution in 3D.
Researchers in Dr. Fan Yang's lab have developed 3D tissue engineering scaffolds with dynamic, temporally and spatially controllable macropore formation.
