New protein gel for tissue regeneration

The human body can repair a lot of tissue damage itself. But sometimes, for instance in case of operations of wounds, it needs help. In her doctoral research, Gosia Wlodarczyk-Biegun developed a protein polymer that provides a basis for the development of new biomaterials that stimulate tissue regeneration using living cells. Wlodarczyk-Biegun was awarded her doctorate by Wageningen University on 18 January.
