Injectable Biomaterial with Enhanced Mechanical and Coagulative Capabilities for Treating Aneurysms

Caption

Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation scientists have produced an improved shear-thinning biomaterial for treatment of aneurysms. It exhibits improvements in strength, stress resistance, and injectability, as well as the ability to accelerate blood coagulation at the aneurysm site. Additionally, it decreases the potential for immunotoxic side effects.
