Key Points: Scientists found a new way to fix damaged swallowing muscles using stem cells. Traditional stem cell treatments fail because the injected cells die too quickly. Researchers mixed stem cells with soft nanogels to keep them alive and breathing. The new mixture boosted cell survival by five times in laboratory tests. Swallowing lets us eat and communicate. When cancer treatments or aging damage throat...
Key Points: A team from Marburg University grew the longest conductive polymer chains ever recorded, reaching nearly 1,000 nanometers in length.
