Injectable Gels: Healing Broken Bones From the Inside Out - Zhipeng Deng

This research develops injectable, enzyme-coated gel beads to treat bone fractures non-invasively. Using lab-on-a-chip technology, the beads trigger clot formation at injury sites, supporting natural healing while providing structural stability. This approach could reduce reliance on surgery, improve recovery outcomes, and address non-healing fractures affecting millions annually.
