Injectable hydrogel uses "molecular Velcro" structure to resist body heat

Stanford scientists have developed a new hydrogel with a Velcro-like molecular structure that allows it to stay intact for longer at body temperature. The hope is that it could be injected into a patient and deliver drugs over weeks or months as it slowly dissolves.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Stanford University, Hydrogels, Drug, Drug delivery, Materials, Polymer, Nanoparticle
