"You just apply it to the surface of a wound," says Brendan Casey, a biomedical engineer at the university who began investigating polymeric hydrogels in 2007 and presented his latest findings from experiments on sheep at this week'sAmerican Chemical Society fall meeting.

Bientôt, je l'espère, disponible en injection pour nos services de secours !!!
