Standard treatment for tendon injuries often means injections that wear off quickly or drugs that go through your entire body, causing side effects. What if we could place a tiny "drug depot" right at the injury site that lasts for weeks? 🏥 Our team at the Wyss Institute has developed a new tough composite hydrogel that does exactly that. By harnessing the power of clay nanoparticles, this gel holds a huge dose of medicine and releases it only where it’s needed—triggered by

Our recently published article entitled "Kinetics of De Novo Bone and Bone Marrow Niche Formation With Hybrid Click Cryogels", explores strategies to rebuild the bone marrow environment to improve the success of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Full report @ https://is.gd/1tleYm Main Objective The study addresses the problem of damaged bone marrow niches following irradiation, which often leads to delayed immune reconstitution and HSCT failure. The researchers
