After being exposed to body temperature, the liquid turns into a semi-solid and porous gel, encouraging cell recovery in areas of damaged heart tissue and protecting heart function.

Karen Christman - biotechnology professor at the University of California, San Diego (USA) and team leader - said the hydrogel forms a support for healing tissue and can provide birth signals. chemistry to prevent further degradation in surrounding tissues.
