Robust Self-Regeneratable Stiff Living Materials

INV-20116 Background Most biomaterials (e.g. wood, silk) found in nature are formed at ambient conditions and degrade naturally to enable a sustainable ecosystem. In contrast, the production of human-made materials (e.g. cement, plastics) requires high temperatures or harsh chemical treatments, while their non-biodegradability unfavorably affects...

Hygroscopic Molecules Inhibit Collagen Nucleation

INV-20080 Background Collagen serves as the premier, load-bearing molecule in humans and animals, and is one of the major building blocks of bones, skin, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This abundant protein helps to support and repair damaged tissue. However, the medical community has struggled to fully leverage the power of collagen for use...
