Innovative applications of molecular biology and living systems—from synthetic biology platforms and engineered enzymes to microbial bioprocesses—driving sustainable production of therapeutics, biofuels, and specialty chemicals.
Thermoresponsive Hydrogel for iPSC Expansion and Release
A novel thermoresponsive hydrogel, combining dendritic polyglycerol units with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-polyethylene glycol via a bioorthogonal linker, creates a dynamic microniche for robust iPSC expansion and controlled cell release. Its thermoreversible properties enable gentle, efficient harvesting by simple temperature adjustment.
