Biomaterials used in novel injectable bandage that can be used in warfare

June 05, 2018 - biomaterials can be used to close wounds without resorting to more invasive methods of first aid treatment.

An assistant professor in the university's Department of Biomedical Engineering, Gaharwar is the head of the laboratory that came up with the injectable hydrogel formula. He explains that a good hydrogel will turn solid once it is introduced into the wound, where it will promote blood clotting and accelerate the natural healing process.

Hydrogels are ...

From transplanting organs to repairing and regrowing them: Biomaterials may save a lot of lives

February 15, 2019 - biomaterials include compatibility with human cells and blood and its ability to accelerate healing (antioxidant property). It can safely adhere to other molecules within the body (antimicrobial) and has the ability to conform to the shape and depth of a wound (elasticity), therefore uses such as tissue barriers and dressings can benefit from it. Citrate-based biomaterials can also be formulated into 3D printer inks to create medical structures at high resolutions....

Scientists develop a new biomaterial made from citrate to help hasten bone regeneration

February 26, 2019 -

Citrate is naturally found in bones and citrus fruit. It plays important roles in maintaining normal skeletal health and function, including healing fractures and breaks.

Penn State researchers are working on biodegradable scaffolds that will slowly release citrate into the body. Their biomaterials are expected to accelerate healing by serving as support structures for growing bones. Researcher Jian Yang explained that 90 percent of the citrate in the human ...

It will carry more than 2,000 varieties of plant seeds, along with fungi and sequenced molecular biomaterials.During its 15-day journey through space, scientists say ...

Sports drinks worse than soda for teeth, study says

March 29, 2005 - biomaterials science at the University of Maryland Dental School in Baltimore, said the acids in sports drinks cause tooth enamel to break down, making it more likely that cavities will develop.

"The enamel damage caused by non-cola and sports beverages was three to 11 times greater than cola-based drinks, with energy drinks and bottled lemonades causing the most harm to dental enamel," he said.

Dr. von Fraunhofer said that, contrary to popular belief, carbonation ...

Prickly superfood: The juice of this cactus has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that reduce colon damage from ulcerative colitis

February 13, 2019 -

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract. It causes irritation or swelling and sores called ulcers on the inner lining of the large intestine. It typically begins gradually, but can worsen over time, leading to life-threatening complications. There is no known cure yet for this condition, but there are treatments available that can greatly improve the symptoms of the disease.

For the study, the researchers assessed the protective ...

New hope for spinal cord injuries: Silk from moths can be used to stabilize the injury and promote repair, according to experts

October 16, 2018 -

As of this writing, there are no known cures for spinal cord damage. This is partly due to cavity and scar tissue formations becoming “formidable barriers” that hinder the restoration of proper spine function. Thus, the researchers wrote in their paper, “natural silks are considered increasingly for medical applications because they are biocompatible, biodegradable and in selected cases promote tissue growth.”

For the purposes of their study, the researchers turned to ...
