Caption

The Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation has developed a groundbreaking Adhesive Gel for treating gastrointestinal leaks. The adhesive gel, composed of a synthetic nanoparticles and gelatin modified with dopamine, offers versatile implications in tissue regeneration and localized drug delivery. Acting as a scaffold, the gel enables easy injection, forming a stable structure that supports tissue regeneration and integrates with surrounding tissues.
