A new type of hybrid hydrogel for tissue regenerative therapy—Anisogel—is developed by Abdolrahman Omidinia-Anarkoli, Laura De Laporte, and co-workers from the Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials in Aachen, Germany. This low-invasive hydrogel is promising for healing body tissues that consist of an aligned architecture, such as the heart, kidney, muscles, and nerves.
Magnetogenetics is a promising approach manipulating cellular functions in tissues and organisms with high spatial and temporal resolution.
This years’ EUROMAT2017 conference took place in Thessaloniki, Greece, 17-22 September.
A collision between two black holes allowed for the first detection of gravitational waves.
A vast number of metallic and non-metallic labels can be conjugated to the dendrimer surface in order to transform them into MRI agents. Due to their multiple branches and high payload they can be readily detected, for example, following local delivery to a brain tumor.
A brief overview is presented mainly over the latest progresses in 3D printing of multifunctional polymer nanocomposites and microfiber einforced composites including the benefits, limitations and potential applications.

Italian researchers explored the diagnostic capability of a multimodal spectroscopic approach for classifying normal brain tissue and epileptogenic focal cortical dysplasia in children.
A new study reports for the first time that pre-sowing seed treatment with physical stressors induce not only changes in germination and plant growth but also substantial increase in amounts of biologically active constituents and antioxidant activity in leaves of medicinal plant.
Professor Yingfang Ao from Peking University Third Hospital, Haifeng Chen from Peking University, and colleagues use 3D printing to generate a silk fibroin/gelatin scaffold for knee cartilage regeneration.
