🔬📚 Newsflash: New Research Paper Explores Impact of Gelatin Bloom Strength on GelMA Hydrogel Properties

Date: March 29, 2024 St. Louis, MO - A recent research paper titled “Evaluation of gelatin bloom strength on gelatin methacryloyl hydrogel properties” was published by our group in the Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials. Authored by Dr. Samantha G. Zambuto, Samyuktha S. Kolluru, Eya Ferchichi, Hannah F. Rudewick, Daniella M. Fodera, Dr. Kristin M. Myers, Dr. Silviya P. Zustiak, and Dr. Michelle L. Oyen, the study investigates the impact of gelatin bloom strength on hydrogel mechanical properties. Results reveal that both bloom strength and GelMA weight percent influence stiffness and viscoelastic ratio, while bloom strength specifically affects diffusivity, permeability, and pore size. The research, showcasing a library of GelMA hydrogels with varying proper...
