Bioengineers created a strong gel adhesive, inspired by slug mucus, that can reseal the dural membrane lining the brain & spinal cord after trauma or injury. The gel performed better than currently used surgical sealants in an animal model. #NIH bit.ly/4cuJul6

A tough, bioadhesive #hydrogel can reseal the dural membrane surrounding the nervous system during #neurosurgery in large and small animals, offering a suture-less option to lower the risk of complications such as CSF leakage. Science Translational Medicine scim.ag/6nP

Big congrats to my postdoc mentor Dave Mooney for this well-deserved recognition! His guidance and wisdom continue to inspire and shape countless journeys.

Thank you to Ben Freedman and collaborators at Wyss Institute Harvard Engineering Brigham and Women's Neurosurgery!

We hope that our work published in Science Translational Medicine will be able to help patients in the near future! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

A substance that can create strong rapid adhesion between hydrogels could benefit medicine. A study shows how dry chitosan polymer films can accomplish this feat, thanks to hydrogen bonding, Van der Waals forces, and polymer entanglement. In PNAS: ow.ly/68Pp50QIfeI

Biomaterials method now allows surgeons and researchers to instantly and effectively bond hydrogels, enabling the creation of new devices for regenerative medicine and surgical care. #MedTech
