    Recently, Professor Zhang Lei's research group of Tianjin University has successfully developed a new type of hydrogel material
    .
    This new material has efficient anti-bioadhesion and "immune shielding" capabilities, and the "artificial islets" constructed by it achieve long-term sugar control in diabetic mice, and the artificial islets constructed by it are expected to bring good news
    to patients with type I diabetes.

    This hydrogel can efficiently and non-destructive embedding islets, and can maintain the activity of embedding islets and normal insulin secretion function for a long time, and the artificial islets constructed by it can still effectively resist bioadhesion and immune recognition in a complex in vivo environment, minimizing human immune rejection, just like putting on an "invisibility cloak"
    for islets.
    In addition, this new hydrogel has low cost and easy preparation, which is conducive to expanding production, and has broad prospects
    in cell therapy, tissue engineering and other medical and health fields.
