This protein-producing gel (termed ‘the P-gel system’ or ‘P-gel’) consists of genes as part of the gel scaffolding. This is the first time that a hydrogel has been used to produce proteins.

The finding could change the way protein therapeutics are formulated, possibly eliminating the need for cold storage (Nature 2024, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-024-07580-0).
