Dress to impress

摘要

Last month's issue of The Engineer carried a story about a tetraplegic man who has taken his first steps in a laboratory thanks to an suit developed by biomedical research centre Clinatec and the University of Grenoble. On the same page [p. 10], it also mentioned that Birmingham University researchers have developed a new self-healing polymer-based hydrogel that can be used to print soft biomaterials to repair defects in the body.
