Harvard researchers developed a tougher, stiffer polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel scaffold that safely contains engineered bacteria while allowing them to release therapeutic drugs. The material prevented bacterial escape for six months in lab tests and reduced infections in mice by detecting Pseudomonas aeruginosa and releasing antimicrobials. The approach advances safer “living” implants for treating infections and potentially cancer. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aec2071
