The type of seaweed used and the manufacturing process dictate the characteristics of the "sodium alginate" gel.

The Study In this study, researchers synthesized a novel NIR photothermal injectable hydrogel, designated as LA PdNPs/Alg hydrogel, with anti-inflammation and anti-oxidation properties by ...

Made from sodium alginate gel, the product is 100% edible and naturally biodegradable in four to six weeks, Lucozade said 15 Aug.

Che Connon, Professor of Tissue Engineering at Newcastle University , said: “The stem cells are surrounded by an alginate gel which protects them from the environment - a bit like frogspawn.
