Bio-Inspired Material Interacts with Surrounding Tissue to Promote Healing

A research team from Imperial College London, led by Dr Ben Almquist, has developed a new molecule based on so-called traction force-activated payloads (TrAPs) which allow materials to talk to the body‘s natural repair systems and thereby activate healing processes. “Creatures from sea sponges to humans use cell movement to activate healing. Our approach mimics...
