- Abstract
The article offers insights from researchers of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on how to tailor a glue-like material to work with specific tissues and organs in Massachusetts. It notes the thoughts of the researchers stressing that current surgical sealants used to repair wounds have not reached their potential. It mentions the view of Elazer Edelman, the lead investigator, on the exposure of organs that occupy in the same body cavity to different potential of hydrogen (pH).
