🌱 In the morning, while repotting mint, my fingertips touched the tangled roots in the soil, and I suddenly remembered that scientists are “weaving” hydrogel pores with 3D printers—those tiny holes invisible to the naked eye, which determine the posture of life.I used to think that plants only needed sunlight and moisture, until I read … Read more
Click the above“blue text” to subscribe Soil is the natural environment for plant growth, containing a rich pore structure. As a substitute for soil, hydrogels can directly provide water, nutrients, air, and support for root systems. However, hydrogel growth media lack a fine pore structure. Recently, Researcher Men Yongjun from the School of Materials Science … Read more
Hydrogels, as a hydrophilic three-dimensional network polymer, have shown great application potential in cutting-edge fields such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, and soft robotics in recent years. However, traditional hydrogels often suffer from poor mechanical properties and limited molding methods, making it difficult to meet the demands of complex application scenarios. Frontal polymerization (FP) is … Read more
Abstract: This article focuses on intervertebral disc degeneration, proposing the use of 3D bioprinting technology to construct biomimetic scaffolds due to the limitations of traditional treatment methods in restoring function. It first outlines the applications of this technology in tissue engineering, such as stereolithography and extrusion printing, then analyzes the properties of biomaterials like GelMA, … Read more
