Fungi Hydrogels: The Future of Wound Healing
What makes fungi a candidate for bio-integrated hydrogels Fungi are traditionally known for their role in decomposition, but researchers are unlocking a different potential: living materials that can mimic the multilayered structure of human tissues. The study from the University of Utah showcases a hydrogel crafted from a soil mold, Marquandomyces marquandii, which behaves like…

Fungi-Derived Hydrogels Could Shape the Future of Wound Healing
Overview: A Living Material with Healing Potential Scientists are exploring a bold idea: could living fungi be transformed into hydrogels that help repair human tissue? Researchers at the University of Utah are investigating a soil-dwelling mold, Marquandomyces marquandii, as a candidate for a bio-integrated hydrogel—an engineered material that combines the adaptability of living organisms with…
