hydrogel

University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering PhD candidate Changxu Sun holds up a small malva nut and a submerged one to demonstrate how much it swells in water. Sun is harnessing this “natural hydrogel” to create new medical devices.

Nut Waste Transforms into Next-Gen Medical Marvel

Stanford engineers have developed an injectable hydrogel depot technology that enables GLP-1 drugs to be administered once every four months, compared to repeated daily injections.

New drug delivery system could reduce daily diabetes shots to just three a year

MIT engineers have synthesized a superabsorbent material that can soak up a record amount of moisture from the air, even in desert-like conditions. Pictured are the hydrogel discs swollen in water. Credits:Image: Gustav Graeber and Carlos D. Díaz-Marín
