Three baby boys with life-threatening breathing problems are alive today thanks to a 4D biomaterial, a medical implant designed to change shape over time, that helped them keep breathing, researchers say.
“Today, we see a way to cure a disease that has been killing children for generations,” said Dr. Glenn Green, a pediatric otolaryngologist at the University of Michigan’s C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital and the senior author of a new report on the boys’ cases.The researchers said that 4D biomaterials could one day help not only patients with respiratory ailments, but also those with disorders involving the heart, bones, muscles or gut.
