stresszel
Stresszel is a term used in various contexts to refer to a hypothetical stress-responsive phenomenon, often in discussions of materials science, bioengineering, or speculative biology. There is no single, universally accepted definition, and the term tends to appear in educational materials, theoretical discussions, or niche literature rather than in formal, peer‑reviewed standards.
In materials science and related fields, stresszel is sometimes described as a gel-like or polymeric network
Because the term is not standardized, different sources assign different mechanisms to stresszel. Some descriptions emphasize
