Cells self-organize into functional, ordered structures during tissue morphogenesis, a process that is evocative of colloidal self-assembly into engineered soft materials. Understanding how intercellu
Semi-Interpenetrating Polymer Network (SIPN) hydrogels are promising soft materials for numerous applications, owing to their enhanced robustness and high swelling capacity. Many SIPN hydrogels rely o
In nature, tissues are patterned, but most biomaterials used in human applications are not. Patterned biomaterials offer the opportunity to mimic spatially segregating...
Demosponges are a well-known source of a plethora of bioactive compounds. In particular, they are able to form a skeleton by direct deposition of silica in a process catalyzed by silicatein. Herein, w
