One such natural polymer that is used in hydrogels for wound dressing is alginate, a carbohydrate derived from seaweed, and therefore, abundantly available. Alginate gels are very easy to prepare ...

The method of preparation of the proposed hydrogel is quite straightforward. It was made using alginate, calcium carbonate, and carbonated water. Alginate is a biocompatible substance that can be ...

Encapsulating cells—both prokaryotic and eukaryotic—allows researchers to carry out experiments in hydrated environments over prolonged periods of time. However, cell growth under these ...

Valentin and his colleagues used a hydrogel solution composed of alginate, metal-based cationic salts and photoinitiators. Upon exposure to a laser, the light-sensitive photoinitiators enabled the ...

In this research, the team crafted a medical composite hydrogel based on alginate, offering a potential alternative for vitreous replacement. The hydrogel, possessing high biocompatibility and ...

Within this construct, the bacterium S. oneidensis MR-1 is encapsulated within an alginate-based hydrogel matrix to maintain its metabolic activity and viability. b) Bio-energy devices for neuron ...

It is described as a boron-loaded alginate hydrogel, and is designed to be delivered to the site of damaged muscle via subcutaneous injection, where the boron is released and kicks off a chain ...

Led by Prof. Carmel Majidi, the researchers started by suspending micrometer-sized flakes of silver within a polyacrylamide-alginate hydrogel. When that material was subsequently partially ...

Researchers have developed modified alginate hydrogels that can endure the growth of bacteria, allowing them to synthesize important enzymes. Encapsulating cells -- both prokaryotic and eukaryotic ...
