An antibacterial hydrogel shows promise as a new minimally invasive treatment option for soft tissue infections around prostheses. After hip or knee replacement surgeries, pathogenic bacteria can ...

A growing cluster of laboratory and early clinical studies is testing whether injectable hydrogels, slow-release drug depots, ...

Total hip and knee replacements are challenging enough for patients. When an infection occurs in the aftermath, the results are often disastrous, requiring potent antibiotics and revisionary surgery.

An injectable, stimuli-responsive hydrogel developed by an IIT Gandhinagar PhD scholar enables minimally invasive delivery into tissues, where it forms a biocompatible scaffold for enhanced cancer ...
