In the headlines: Heidi.News highlights this week a biocompatible material from the Wyss Institute that opens up a new therapeutic field for the more than 15 million tendon injuries that occur each year in the US alone.
This slug-inspired hydrogel is capable of replacing injured tendons and ligaments and even delivering treatments to speed up tissue repair. Its use must now go through a clinical study phase before it can be marketed in fifty years.
A version of this hydrogel has already been licensed to a pharmaceutical company for an initial dental application (gum regeneration).
Applications for tendons must now go through a clinical study phase with potential commercialisation within five years.
