In new research from the lab of Assistant Professor Sihong Wang at the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering details the development of a hydrogel that retains semiconductive ability needed to transmit information between living tissue and machine, capable for implantable medical devices and non-surgical applications. In the research paper, published in Science Magazine, Wang and his team have solved a challenge that has long stymied researchers, reimagining the process of creating hydrogels to build a powerful semiconductor in hydrogel form. “When making implantable bioelectronic devices, one challenge you must address is to make a device with tissue-like mechanical properties,” said Yahao Dai, the first author of the new paper. “That way, when it gets directly interfaced with the tissue, they can deform together and also form a very intimate bio-interface.” The hydrogel semiconductor, which the team has patented and is commercializing through UChicago’s Polsky Center at the University of Chicago, is not merging a semiconductor with a hydrogel. It’s one material that is both semiconductor and hydrogel at the same time. https://lnkd.in/gBmbtD2A #UChicagoPME #MaterialScience #Research #Hydrogel #Semiconductor

I am happy to share this work published in Science (Science Magazine) from my group, led by my exceptionally creative and dedicated student Yahao Dai. In this work, we reported hydrogel semiconductors as a new class of bioelectronic materials, based on a method that allows the incorporation of non-water-soluble, high-performance semiconducting polymers into hydrogel networks. Compared to regular polymer semiconductors, the hydrogel design provides several important benefits for tissue-interfaced applications, including (1) reduced foreign-body response, (2) enhanced photo-modulation effects, and (3) higher biochemical sensing response through a new "volumetric-sensing" mechanism.

Growing an Ear in Your Arm: It's Real! 🦻✨ Tissue engineering is making headlines with its ability to grow ears on arms. Here's how it works: doctors create a mold of an ear and cover it with the patient’s cells. This mold is then placed under the skin, usually on the arm. Over a few months, the cells grow into cartilage, forming a new ear. Once ready, doctors move the ear to its proper place on the body. In China, scientists successfully grew an ear on a patient’s arm. An artist named Stelarc even grew an ear on his forearm as part of an art project. This breakthrough helps people who have lost ears in accidents or were born without them. Let’s connect for more knowledge sharing.

🦴 3D-Printed Hyperelastic Bone: Advancing Bone Repair 🦴 A breakthrough in medical technology, 3D-printed hyperelastic bone is changing the way we approach bone repair. This innovative material can be custom printed to match a patient's specific needs. Once implanted, it helps promote natural tissue growth and accelerates the body’s ability to regenerate bone. A recent success at Cornell University demonstrates the potential of this technology. Researchers used 3D-printed bone models to save a dog’s leg from amputation. Now, imagine if this technology could be expanded to 3D-printed organs. The possibilities for medicine are limitless. 🎩 Helen Yu • C U at #FormNext ? • #3Dprinting • #AdditiveManufacturing • #tranpham • www.tranpham.com • Like 👍 what you see ► Hit the Bell 🔔 to follow me.
