Ligand-Mediated Elasticity Control in Artificial Protein-Based Hydrogels for Enhanced Tissue Scaffold Applications
This invention enhances strength and durability of artificial protein-based hydrogels used as tissue scaffolds. It uses ligand binding to control self-association strength in protein complexes through non-covalent interactions. This method boosts shear elasticity and reduces bioerosion rates, enabling the creation of elasticity-controllable tissue scaffolds...

Eco-Friendly, Sustainable, Lightweight, Porous Cellulose Sponge for Crop Growth
This technology uses ‘cellulose sponges’ that can be used to grow pick-and-eat crops without soil. The inventors have tested diverse cellulose derivatives and have determined the best performers. Hydroxyethyl methylcellulose was shown in testing to have a higher water-retention property, higher durability, low density and malleability, and...
