Hydrogels are common materials in the ophthalmic biomaterial industry. Interaction of the surface with the surrounding bio-environment influences the performance of any given type of hydrogel...

The transcription factor Ascl1 plays a key role in neural development. Recently Ascl1 was identified as a pioneer factor capable of reprogramming other cell types of the central nervous system into neurons using viral mediated overexpression1...

Several adhesives found in nature perform in ways that synthetic adhesives do not yet match. For example, even though many aquatic organisms have adapted to adhere to surfaces in aqueous environments, it remains an engineering challenge to synthesize biocompatible adhesives that are effective in wet conditions...

Responsive surfaces can be created by coating or directly modifying materials with switchable molecules to optimize the properties at the surface for modulating cell behaviour and protein adsorption1...

The extracellular matrix ECM is an intricate and complex network of proteins and polysaccharides, with tissue-specific structure and composition that regulates a range of cell behaviours and functions...
