Cells in Gels!

A scientific illustration was created to show neural cells encapsulated in a 3D protective hydrogel. Research was investigating injectable hydrogel systems that could be used to shield cells from shear forces during injection.

This commission was selected as the front cover Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 27, Issue 28.
