A Matrix For Healing
Materials that can be injected into the body to form a scaffold to facilitate repair are taking a step forward thanks to work by Dr. Alyssa Panitch and her team. These materials, which start as a liquid, expand to fill gaps in damaged tissues before turning into a gel that dissolves as it is replaced by natural, healthy tissue. These materials can also be loaded with theraputic drugs to further help the body heal itself. University News Service has the full story here.
