multifunctional oscillating hydrogel device

Soft mechanical actuators: Applications in artificial implants, biomimicking devices, and stem cell culture.

submitted by: hanliang

Our project will be focused on the development of a multifunctional oscillating hydrogel device that undergoes reversible, time dependent and sinusoidal volume/mechanical changes in response to temperature perturbations. These oscillating hydrogels will then be employed inregulating musculoskeletal differentiation of stem cells in the context of regenerative medicine.
