"The new hydrogel is more than 50 times stronger than comparable squishy self-healing materials, researchers led by Takuzo Aida of the University of Tokyo report in the Jan. 21 Nature. Such substances are well suited for the body; they are 95 percent water. Hydrogels may one day serve as scaffolding for growing new tissue, as matrices for keeping drugs in their targeted area or as replacements for damaged cartilage. The new gel, unlike similar materials, is quick and relatively simple to make."

Oh My! Everlasting gobstopper gums? Sweetums.

Yes, cars can fly. Where have you been, Buck Rogers?

 

Hmm.. What if a chemical substance similar to collagen could be used instead of collagen in order to keep a youthful appearance... and how could a person go about using gene therapy to efficiently insert that into the human body without causing an allergic reaction and, of course, giving a youthful appearance...

Most of the people mistake and also doctors

are not very serious on this topic.
