Composite Gels and Methods of their Use in Tissue Repair, Drug Delivery, and as Implants
Abstract: Gel materials, particularly
hydrogels
, typically lose their mechanical strength and stiffness as they swell. This property limits their use in both biological (e.g., cartilage and ECM repair) and non-biological (e.g., sealant) applications. Innovative materials in both medical and non-medical application areas are sorely needed. Recent innovations...

Self-forming in vivo dosimeter for radiation therapy verification
Radiation therapy (RT) is one of the most common treatment modalities for cancer and is used in approximately 50% of all treatment plans. It's estimated that RT is responsible for more than 3.5 million successful treatment outcomes along with another 3.5 million for palliative care. Although RT effectively kills cancer, it can cause damage...
