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.
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.
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.
