Current injectable hydrogel materials have fast erosion and limited tunability of their mechanical properties at different stages of applications, limiting their biomedical applications.
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.
Engineers in Prof. Zhenan Bao's lab have developed highly conductive, stretchable composite hydrogel materials that can be used as soft electrodes that match the mechanical properties of a range of biological tissues.
Stanford researchers have developed an injectable, biocompatible hydrogel consisting of extracellular matrix (ECM) from human cadaveric tendons as a potential scaffold for guided tissue regeneration and tissue engineering purposes.
Stanford researchers have demonstrated a new passive cavitation mapping algorithm based on sound localization of multiple scatters of cavitation. It shows improved resolution as compared to existing passive cavitation mapping algorithms based on a basic beamforming.
Engineers in Prof. James Harris' laboratory have developed a compact optics and microfluidics device to continuously monitor the hemostatic state of patients undergoing heart surgery, dialysis or other procedures.
Stanford researchers at the Airan Lab have developed a new method for robust and spatiotemporally precise non-invasive neuromodulation that could transform both basic and clinical neuroscience.
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.
Stanford researchers have created a device with defined parallel-oriented fibrillar nanostructure that can control endothelial cell alignment along the direction of the fibrillar nanostructure.
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.
