Researchers Discover New Method For Bonding Gels And Biological Tissues

Researchers successfully glued the two pieces of calf liver together by spreading TM-50 nanosilica solution on each of their surfaces. This discovery is excellent news for those involved in the medical and veterinary fields, specifically in regenerative medicine and surgery.

Researchers have discovered an efficient and easy-to-use method for bonding together gels and biological tissues. A team involving researchers from the Laboratoire Matière Molle et Chimie (CNRS/ESPCI ParisTech) and the Laboratoire Physico-Chimie des Polymères et Milieux Dispersés (CNRS/ UPMC/ESPCI ParisTech), has successfully achieved a very strong adhesion between two gels by spreading a solution containing nanoparticles on their surface. Until now, there was no entirely satisfactory method of obtaining adhesion between two gels or two biological tissues.
