From a synthetic polymer named polyisocyanopeptide (PIC), they made a gel that behaves similar to the matrix that surrounds the cells in your body. The material exhibits a special property that is not found in other materials: it gels on heating and returns to a liquid solution as it is cooled. With this special combination of properties, there is a vast number of potential clinical applications for the gel.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2020-12-hydrogel-cell-growth-body.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Hydrogel controls cell growth outside the body<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chemists at Radboud University discovered a unique material in 2013.
