Excited to see our latest manuscript, entitled "Light-based fabrication and 4D customization of hydrogel biomaterials" is now LIVE at @natrevbioeng! Read for free here: rdcu.be/dVggd Congrats to Irina Kopyeva (@UWBioE) and @RP_Brady (@UWChemE)! This was a fun one!
Light can be applied to engineer materials approaching the 4D complexity of tissues. In their Review, @coledeforest et al discuss the light-based fabrication of hydrogels - the union of light-based manufacturing and photoresponsive chemistries @RP_Brady go.nature.com/4gEapgm
