Dr Almquist speaks with Hannah Laeverenz Schlogelhofer from The Naked Scientists about using our TrAPs for wound healing as part of 5 Live Science on BBC Radio.

We are pioneering a new approach to healing damaged tissues using DNA nanotechnology, which we call TrAPs: Traction Force-Activated Payloads. This bioinspired approach uses the ability of cells to pull on materials to activate therapeutic proteins, and forms part of our approach to creating dynamic biomaterials.
