A study by SUTD aims to replicate the optimal environment required by embryonic stem cells, with the use of nanofiber hydrogels, thus allowing for controlled stem cell differentiation. Presently, the SUTD researchers are looking into the use of bioprinting and nanofiber hydrogels to enhance control of stem cell development.
