Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have engineered a solution using tiny microgels packed with antioxidant crystals. Published in Advanced Functional Materials, their work demonstrates how a single dose of these protective capsules, called CROSS (Cellular RedOx Spreading Shield), can keep stem cell cultures healthy for up to seven days. That’s long enough for the cells to produce the high-quality communication molecules that actually build working brain tissue.
