Structure and Dynamics of Ultra‐Low‐Crosslinked Microgels

open access: yesJournal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals the relationship between microgel internal architecture, zero‐shear viscosity, structural relaxation time, and the ability of ultra‐soft colloidal suspensions to remain viscous fluids under overcrowded conditions. This interplay between microgel compressibility and zero‐shear viscosity is further highlighted by a colloid‐polymer ...

Thermo-responsive gels that absorb moisture and ooze water

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Most smart hydrogels are used in their wet state and determination of their phase transition behaviour in the dried state is lacking. Here the authors investigate the thermo-responsive behaviour of an interpenetrating polymer network gel comprising of ...

Reconciling Granular Hydrogel Microstructure and Mechanics via a Temporary Thermo‐Responsive and Cell‐Invadable Matrix

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Thermo‐responsive granular hydrogels (TRGHs), composed of microparticles and an interstitial matrix, exhibit thermo‐responsive mechanical properties and allow cell infiltration. This system effectively addresses the conventional compromise between mechanical strength and porosity observed in granular hydrogels.

Surviving the Nucleus Pulposus Desert: Next‐Generation Strategies for Intervertebral Disc Cell Therapy

open access: yesJOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACTBackgroundLow back pain remains the leading cause of disability worldwide, with intervertebral disc degeneration representing a major biological contributor. Although cell‐based therapies have shown promise in preclinical models, clinical translation has yielded modest and inconsistent outcomes.
