New Hydrogel For Liver Cell Culture On Microchips

Caption

Scientists at Linköping University, Sweden, have developed a new method to produce hydrated materials, hydrogels, that have properties similar to the natural environment of cells in the body. The material can be adapted to the various requirements of difficult-to-culture cell types, and to produce organ-like structures on a microchip.
