In total, just 68 nucleotides were needed for DNA hydrogel formation—markedly less than the hexapodna-based DNA hydrogel composed of 12 different 40-base long ODNs," explains Prof. Nishikawa. Discover ...

In a new study published in the Journal of Controlled Release, researchers from Tokyo University of Science attempted to minimize and optimize DNA nanostructures for making hydrogels. A Takumi-shaped ...

Researchers have developed a new way to create hydrogels using ultrasound, eliminating the need for toxic chemical initiators. This breakthrough offers a faster, cleaner and more sustainable approach ...

In tissue engineering, the scaffold material must eventually degrade leaving behind only regenerated tissue. For hydrogels that serve as cell encapsulation platforms, hydrogel degradation must closely ...

Download the latest edition Their findings showed that the hydrogel properties, such as melting temperatures and stability, depend on the length of the stem and the cohesive parts. ODNs with stem ...
