Scientists Develop Living Tissues That Transform Shape on Command

Summary by BIOENGINEER.ORG
In a groundbreaking collaboration spearheaded by leading research institutions in Catalonia, a transformative approach has been unveiled that harnesses the intrinsic behavior of living tissues to engineer programmable, shape-shifting materials. This pioneering study, conducted by scientists from the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), the Polytechnic University of Catalonia – BarcelonaTech (UPC), the International Centre […]

Biological tissues have the ability to organize themselves and change their shape, so taking advantage of this behavior to design synthetic materials capable of adopting concrete figures is one of the great challenges of today’s bioengineering. A study, published in Science, presents a new strategy to ‘program’ these changes in form through chemical patterns. Research, led by the Institute of Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), the Universitat P…
