At normal sugar levels (more than 100 mg/dL), the micelles remain intact, keeping glucagon inactive. Credit:...

How to make hydrogels more injectable
MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY IMAGE: MIT AND HARVARD RESEARCHERS HAVE DEVELOPED COMPUTATIONAL MODELS THAT CAN PREDICT THE PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS MADE FROM SQUISHY HYDROGEL BLOCKS. CREDIT: MIT CAMBRIDGE, MA – Gel-like materials that can be injected into the body hold great potential to heal injured tissues or manufacture entirely new tissues. Many researchers are working to develop...
