EPFL researchers have developed a biocompatible hydrogel with 10 times the adhesive strength of existing bioadhesives for surgical applications. Composed of 90% water, the material mimics natural tissue while resisting mechanical stresses like walking or running. For the additive manufacturing sector, this provides a reliable adhesive for in situ cell delivery, eliminating the need for invasive sutures. This transition to high-adhesion bio-inks will accelerate the adoption of real-time clinical tissue engineering. 🧬 #bioprinting #additivemanufacturing #medtech #innovation
