Abstract Gelatin based hydrogels are often incorporated with supporting materials such as chitosan, poly(vinyl alcohol), alginate, carbon nanotubes, and hyaluronic acid. These hybrid materials are specifically of interest in diversified nanomedicine fields as they exhibit unique physicochemical properties, antimicrobial activity, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. The applications include drug delivery, wound healing, cell culture, and tissue engineering. This paper reviews the various up-...

HAMPTON, Va. (April 16, 2021) — Dr. Rupak Dua, an assistant professor in Hampton University’s Department of Chemical Engineering in the School of Engineering and Technology, was recently awarded a supplement award of $59,7000 for his continuing Research Initiation Award by the National Science Foundation. The supplement award will allow Dua to acquire a benchtop Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) that can magnify to 175,000x without a dedicated operator. “Congratulations to Dr. Rupak D...

Date Time Simplified treatment for a cause of sight loss offers eye-opening savings for hospitals New study shows that simplifying a surgical technique to treat an important cause of sight loss around the world could be 10 per cent the cost for hospitals, but just as effective, and help to make the procedure more accessible for patients The simplified procedure was first developed in 2012 to treat patients in India and despite having a profound impact on eye surgery in this country, it has yet ...

New bioprinting process uses ultrashort peptides to print hydrogel scaffolds A new automated process prints a peptide-based hydrogel scaffold containing uniformly distributed cells. The scaffolds hold their shapes well and successfully facilitate cell growth that lasts for weeks. "Bioprinting" -- 3D printing that incorporates living cells -- has the potential to revolutionize tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Scientists have experimented with natural and synthetic "bioinks" to print...
