Researchers at the University of New Hampshire have developed a new, macroporous hydrogel that facilitates faster wound healing by allowing cells to migrate into the wound. The injectable formulation also enables slow release of protein drugs, such as platelet-derived growth factor, to aid in the healing process.
A study by UC Riverside researchers predicts climate-induced reduction in large soil pores, leading to increased surface runoff and erosion. Climate change may also exacerbate flash flooding, threatening human health, food security, and biodiversity.
Researchers developed a method for layering biomaterials to create strong, porous units that can aid in bone reconstruction. The new approach mimics natural bone structure, combining the benefits of macroporous calcium phosphate cements with fiber-reinforced materials.
