LIT UPDATE: Hydrogel nerves?!

LIT UPDATE - where we dissect a current science article and why it is important and relevant to the nano-field. In this episode, we look into work from Mei Dong and colleagues from Nanjing University who developed conductive hydrogels that can potentially act as implants for peripheral nerve injury! LIT PAPER: Dong, M., Shi, B., Liu, D., Liu, J.-H., Zhao, D., Yu, Z.-H., Shen, X.-Q., Gan, J.-M., Shi, B.-L., Qiu, Y., Wang, C.-C., Zhu, Z.-Z., & Shen, Q.-D.. (2020). Conductive Hydrogel for a Photothermal-Responsive Stretchable Artificial Nerve and Coalescing with a Damaged Peripheral Nerve. ACS Nano, 14(12), 16565–16575.
