Posted: Jun 29, 2017: Inorganic biomaterials for soft-tissue adhesion (Nanowerk News) Researchers at Okayama University describe in Acta Biomaterialia ("Biocompatible nanostructured solid adhesives ...

Researchers have demonstrated that the principle of adhesion by aqueous solutions of nanoparticles can be used in vivo to repair soft-tissue organs and tissues. This adhesion method is exceptional ...

Adhesion formation occurs after soft-tissue trauma and is caused by an inflammatory response to tissue damage. The body responds to injury by activating macrophages to debride and clean the ...

Recent research introduces a soft, injectable material designed for use in the eye to help protect and support damaged ...

Fort Huachuca, AZ. - Whether active duty, retired or military dependent, many have dealt with a soft tissue injury at one time in their lives. "Shin splints" and "IT-Band Syndrome" are commonly ...

While further testing will be needed in complex tissue models and in vivo systems, the ability to induce and control self-adhesions using entirely synthetic materials represents a meaningful step ...

The PIs will develop a new experimental apparatus to achieve in situ mapping of the three-dimensional deformation fields in soft hydrogel substrates under contact, adhesion and friction. The soft gel ...

These values are compared to other theoretical calculations for validation. The results of this work indicate that the micropatterned PDMS substrate significantly decreases both the work of adhesion ...
