Now, researchers at Purdue University’s Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering have found a new scaffold-like liquid material that could be injected into the body to fill in the gaps between injured or misplaced tissue before coagulating into a gel. The new discovery could help fix the damaged bones, spinal cords, arteries and other parts. Researchers claim that the new wound healing material could further be employed to improve metal scaffolds surgically positioned in arteries to keep them open in case of heart patients. Well, the research has been conducted with laboratory tissue cultures till date.
