This complex structure leads to a micromechanical environment where cells experience a ... mechanical supported needed to function in vivo while simultaneously supporting cells and tissue growth ...

Hydrogels possess a 3D structure and a hydrophilic polymer network ... The same department is also leading the development of ...

A flexible artificial leaf mimics aquatic plants' light-tracking, increasing solar fuel production by up to 866% even at steep angles - without motors or external controls.

Prince creates synthetic biomimetic hydrogels for biomedical uses. The hydrogels feature a nanofibrous structure with extensive pores for nutrition and waste transport, influencing mechanical ...

In the context of tissue engineering and translating in vivo, we are interested in developing synthetic materials that are biomimetic. To this end, we synthesize biomaterials (e.g., hydrogels) with ...
