The building blocks of Hydrogels are being found in the COVID vaccine, and Hydrogels are being found in the blood of both the vaccinated and the unvaccinated. They are the so-called blood clots that are being found around the world. And these Hydrogels can now be programmed, encrypted and decrypted. According to Mihalcea, they are the substrate of the brain computer interface and the primary method of fusing humans with machines as she described by referencing MIT research in the article, “Hydrogel Interfaces for Merging Humans and Machines” ----- BraveTV Official Website: https://BraveTV.com Store: https://BraveTV.com/store Podcasts: https://BraveTV.com/watch About Dr. Jason Dean: https://BraveTV.com/about ----- BRAND NEW UPDATED Jan 8, 2024 FREE BraveTV Newsletter BraveTVNews.com BLACK November Special!!

In 2017 researchers identified non-biocompatible and non-biodegradable inorganic particles in every medical device tested. In 2020 China announced the growth of certain medical devices inside of insect cells. In 2021 the Japanese government halted usage of different lots of Moderna devices due to black and pink contaminants that were metallic in nature due to their response to magnets. In 2016, U.S. researchers announced a method of controlling brain circuits using genetically engineered magnetized protein crystals. In 2019 the ACS announced research that involved introducing crystals into living cells within the body pre-loaded with iron in order to make them magnetic. In 2021 Hydrogels were introduced as a means for better medical devices that also involved mRNA, the messenger to DNA and cells. Not long after, DARPA announced a green tissue-like gel, casually relating to the black and pink substances, that could be placed inside the body to monitor chemical reactions. When considering something such as Morgellons disease, classified by lesions and hair-like fibers, a disturbing reality emerges. DARPA also funded Moderna's development of mRNA devices alongside UC Berkley's ‘neural dust', which being implanted, injected or inhaled, has the ability to, even as of 2003, acting as a series of minuscule remote-sensor chips inside the body. These microelectromechanical sensors (MEMS) can detect everything from light to vibration, each containing a piezoelectric crystal, while having access to the nervous system. They can block ultraviolet light absorption which causes cancerous-like cellular reproduction while preventing development of vitamin D, and even causing a failure in reproduction. In 2013 MIT reported that these dust particles could be embedded in the brain to create a brain-machine interface. Other reports included that Morgellons sufferers have grown insect-like parts inside their body. All of this technology clearly has the ability to create chimeras and hybrids of nature with artificial neuronal networks, activated through artificial light or drugs, which act to replace autonomous organic systems with controlled synthetic systems from brain to body through a form of parasitic behavior. This artificial system would thus be part of a digital sub-reality dominated by a synthetic conscious - AI. Perhaps that is why there is a casual relationship between medical conditions and de-wormer/anti-parasite drugs, and why a link may be drawn to Morgellons.

A recent food technology innovation created new CHO drinks and gels with added sodium alginate and pectin in solutions of multiple transportable CHO, with the intention of encapsulating those CHO molecules in the stomach forming a gel which allegedly enables a smooth transportation of the drink through the stomach to the intestine. But are the claims of improved gastric emptying, increased CHO oxidation and reduce GI symptoms supported by science?
Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.07.27.222802v1?rss=1 Authors: Giubertoni, G., Burla, F., Bakker, H. J., Koenderink, G. Abstract: Many biopolymer hydrogels are environmentally responsive because they are held together by physical associations that depend on pH and temperature. Here we investigate how the pH and temperature response of the rheology of hyaluronan hydrogels is connected to the underlying molecular interactions. Hyaluronan is an essential structural biopolymer in the human body with many applications in biomedicine. Using two-dimensional infrared (2DIR) spectroscopy, we show that hyaluronan chains become connected by hydrogen bonds when the pH is changed from 7.0 to 2.5, and that the bond density at pH 2.5 is independent of temperature. Temperature-dependent rheology measurements show that due to this hydrogen bonding the stress relaxation at pH 2.5 is strongly slowed down in comparison to pH 7.0, consistent with the sticky reptation model of associative polymers. From the flow activation energy we conclude that each polymer is crosslinked by multiple (5-15) hydrogen bonds to others, causing slow macroscopic stress relaxation, despite the short time scale of breaking and reformation of each individual hydrogen bond. Our findings can aid the design of stimuli-responsive hydrogels with tailored viscoelastic properties for biomedical applications. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info

Biological carbonate hard tissues, such as the shell of the bivalve Mytilus edulis, are composites of biopolymers and minerals. M. edulis has two distinct layers, the outer layer consists of fibrous calcite and the inner layer is composed of nacreous aragonite. Close to the interface between nacreous aragonite and fibrous calcite, a 1-2 micrometer wide zone exists that consists of granular aragonite. Aragonite granules and tablets as well as calcite fibrous are embedded into matrix biopolymers. In order to understand the composite nature of these hard tissues, biomimetic experiments using hydrogels were carried out. Hydrogels are able to model biogenic matrix environments due to their ability to confine space and to determine diffusion rates, local concentrations and supersaturation of the solutes. Hydrogels have local crystallization microenvironment that is distinguished from that in solution by confinement of solutes in the hydrogel pores. However, hydorgels only mimic biological extracellular matrices to some extent as the hydrogel fiber organization lacks any order, unlike it is in the case of the cholesteric liquid phase, e. g. chitin. The hydrogel strength is adjustable by changing its solid content. It further increases local hydrogel fiber co-aligments that to some extent will mimic organic matrices in biological hard tissues. Different kinds of hydrogels were used to study calcite crystallization (silica, agarose, gelatin). As each hydrogel has different characteristics, hydrogels can act differently in promoting or inhibiting crystallization. Hydrogels have an ability to mechanically impede the growth of a crystal depending on the strength of the hydrogel. Gelatin hydrogel is a poly-peptide material derived from natural collagen through hydrolytic degradation. The hyrolitic degradation breaks the triple-helix structure of collagen into single-strand molecules. Gelatin contains both acidic and basic amino acids with isoelectric point values near ∼5 and with predominance of acidic moieties. Agarose hydrogel is a linear polysaccharide extracted from marine red algae. It consists of beta-1,3 linked D-galactose and alpha-1,4 linked 3,6-anhydro-alpha-L-galactose residues. Gelatin and agarose hydrogels are composed of a fibrous structure that have varying mesh void dimensions depending on the hydrogel solid content. Hydrogel with 2.5 wt % gelatin solid content exerts less pressure against the growing calcite crystal aggregate than a hydrogel with 10 wt % gelatin solid content. Silica hydrogel does not exert strong pressure against the growing calcite crystal aggregate due to its nature as it is composed of minute (less than 20 nm) sized spherical particles that do not appear to form a network. The hydrogel strength together with the growth rate of the crystal defines the amount of incorporated hydrogel into the growing calcite crystal aggregate such that a strong hydrogel will incorporate more gel into the calcite crystal than a weak hydrogel. Calcite grown in Mg-free silica hydrogels has a rhombohedral shape and is elongated on the c-axis. It grows as dumbbell-shaped aggregates in the presence of Mg. Silica hydrogel either Mg-free or Mg-bearing does not give a major influence on the co-orientation of the obtained crystal aggregate. Calcite grown in Mg-free agarose has two morphologies: rhombohedron-shaped calcite crystals and calcite radial aggregates. Calcite grown in Mg-bearing agarose has sheaf-like and peanut like morphologies. The presence of Mg in agarose influences the co-orientation of calcite crystals within calcite Mg-bearing agarose composites. The calcite/Mg-free agarose composite has several large crystal subunits while the calcite/Mg-bearing agarose composite shows a spherulitic microstructure. In the case of gelatin hydrogel, the precipitate consists of calcite aggregates that have a variety of features i.e. the formation of mosaic crystals and mesocrystal-like subunits in one aggregate, the formation of aggregates with a fan-like distribution of the c-axis orientation and the formation of spherulitic aggregates. The formation of aggregates with different characteristic in the subunits can be explained as a result of a combination between local differences in gelatin matrix arrangement and physicochemical conditions such as the change in Mg/Ca ratio, pH, saturation, etc. The development of a fan-like distribution of the c-axes orientation in the calcite aggregate subunits can be explained as a result of Mg intrasectorial zoning. A different degree of Mg incorporation in different growth steps will accumulate misfit strain in the lattice. This misfit strain could be released through the formation of dislocations at regular intervals, such that small-angle boundaries develop. This growth further leads to the extreme split growth and the formation of fan-like and spherulitic crystal aggregates. The etching experiments of calcite/hydrogel composites reveal the structure of the incorporated hydrogel within the calcite crystals and aggregates. In the case of Mg-bearing silica hydrogel more silica hydrogel is incorporated into the calcite crystal than in the case of Mg-free silica hydrogel. Thick hydrogel membranes are observed when Mg-free gelatin and agarose hydrogels are used. These membranes do not occur when Mg is present. The formation of these membranes in Mg-free gelatin and agarose hydrogels is a result of an accumulation of the hydrogel fibers that are driven back by growing crystals or aggregates. The stiffness of the gelatin and agarose hydrogel fibers increase as Mg is added into the hydrogel. The hydrogel becomes stiffer and exerts more pressure against the growing aggregates. No hydrogel membranes are observed in aggregates grown in Mg-bearing gelatin and in agarose hydrogels. On the basis of biopolymer and mineral composites, gypsum (CaSO4)/cellulose fiber composites were prepared. The purpose of the addition of cellulose fiber to gypsum was to create a composite with a high ecological value and interesting mechanical properties such as high Young’s modulus, high bending strength and high compression strength. The cellulose fiber affects the mechanical property of the composites depending on the fiber characteristics, e.g. the nature of the cellulose (natural or synthetic), water retention value, degree of swelling, etc. Lyocell fiber, a synthetic fiber, is found to be able to increase the Young’s modulus of the final composite.
Hydrogels have been used successfully in many tissue engineering applications. However, because they are inherently soft materials, it is not always easy to get the large, interconnected pore network that enhances cell behavior and allows neovascularization of implants. Many techniques have been developed to try and create pore networks after the gelling process completes, like using salt or sugar porogens. But porogens must be removed to create the pore network, and the removal process has always been the Achilles heel... The post Cryogels with Sandeep Koshy appeared first on Natural Scaffolds.
